I know this is a super old post, but has anyone else done this with their MWC cage? Any details on doing this? Sounds like the main hoop and rear bars are the "rear assembly" and everything else is the "front assembly"?
You are correct we split it as the main hoop to paint them leaving the door bar separate. No front windshield in the vehicle will always make life easier.

Another option and what I did when I built my cage. Drill 2" holes where the front bars and main hoop bars contact the floor. Just set the plates on the floor and tack the whole cage together. Once it's all tacked together and your happy with it weld as much as you can on the top of front bars, halo and top of rear bars. Cut the tacks off door bars and remove them then pull plates out from under front bars and main hoop. Let the cage slide down through the floor to finish welding the tops. Paint the top half of cage before pushing it back up through. Slide plates back under, get door bars back in and finish welding and painting everything.

The windshield needs to come out to do it this way, or it just makes everything easier in general? I need a new windshield, I should have ordered a lexan one from you guys at the same time!

Cutting holes in the floor was my original plan. But pulling out 2 halves to finish welding/painting would be pretty sweet! I'll just play with it and see what seems easiest when it shows up.
bringing back an old thread once again cuz i use the search function lol. .My mwc cage just came in and im super excited to get this installed. I just have one question. How the hell am i suppose to remove or instsll the net completely if the rear net bar is welded to the cage as circled in this pic.
