An apparatus and methods are provided for a chassis for an off-road vehicle that includes roll cage lateral 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 lateral supports include angled braces for counteracting lateral forces on a canopy of the vehicle during a rollover event. A front portion of the canopy is reinforced by windshield braces disposed within a windshield area of the vehicle. An angle is disposed between the windshield braces to counteract lateral forces on the front portion of the canopy. A rear portion of the canopy is reinforced by roof braces extending from the center of a roof crossmember of the canopy to opposite sides of the canopy. An angle between the roof braces counteracts lateral forces on the rear portion of the canopy.
