Tom,
It's the smittybuilt front cage kit (SS 80) which consists of two (2) legs that run from the roll bar to the front of the floor in the passenger/driver compartment.These legs are then connected together by a bar that runs behind and parallel to the top of the wind shield.
side view:

     bar                                cage leg
						one on each side.

If you take the forward legs and walk them back behind the roll bar you get this:
                                 smitty bar (leg)

Perhaps Tom Mandera (he has the kit at home) or some one better with words than I am will post a better explanation.
