An apparatus and methods are provided for a chassis for an off-road vehicle that includes roll cage center supports. The chassis is a welded-tube variety of chassis that includes a front portion and a rear portion that are joined to an intervening passenger cabin portion. The roll cage center supports include angled braces for counteracting lateral forces on a canopy of the vehicle during a rollover event. A center roof bar disposed along a midline of the canopy provides overhead protection to occupants within the passenger cabin portion. Windshield braces within a windshield area of the canopy reinforce a front of the center roof bar. A rear of the center roof bar is reinforced by roof braces within a rear of the canopy. The windshield braces and the roof braces support the center roof bar so as to withstand forces exerted on the canopy during a rollover event.
