If you get a TCP subframe connector and crossbrace, the front drive shaft loop is an easy upgrade.

Yes I would. You don't even have to go crazy spending a lot of money if you don't want to. This is the one my buddy put on his 65' in about 10-15 minutes. He did not want to spend a lot of money. It's cheap insurance.

I've got two empty brackets about halfway down the shaft:



Is that where this loop would mount?

the two rectangular slots in the upper l;eft of picture are for the handbrake lever.
The two empty loops next to the driveshaft are for the handbrake cable. begs the question how do you operate yours ?!

The branda unit picks up the inside seatbelt bolts. good double use. Using the same design idea, one could form a similar loop from a stick of 1.5" steel for about half that price.
