That looks pretty nice, but is there any reason to the cage coming down right behind you? I'm just curious.

I'll let Brian post up... but triangulation= strongest option. Family cages are nice when you need them but when ever you can triangulate your cage to make it as strong as possible. Very simular to what mine was in my last rig. LOOKS GOOD BRIAN:D

In the next few months the tub will be gone behind the cage and the axle will move back about 10". I am not sure if it will get tubed or be just axle and tires back there. I have some time to think about it while I save for the new axles.

Looks nice. I was curious what it would look like chopped and stretched so I spent a few minutes in Photoshop today.

I dig it. That is close but put the rear corners just behind the factory door surrounds. That is what my plan is.

Do you have any other shots of the front fenders? They look like you trimmed them pretty tight but you still have the stock latches on there...PS Your rig is awesome !

That cage is awesome; best looking I've seen. I imagine it'll be plenty stout. Can't wait to see it all done.

I saw you driving the other day (don't know you, but recognize the Jeep), just couldn't figure out what was different. That cage sure changes the look. I like it!

Does DPS or any other cops give you s!@# for no fenders? Looks cool, but where you gonna put the beer cooler?

I did think of one thing you might want to consider , when we chopped the back off and just added enough frame to mount coil-overs and track bar it was so light in the back that it loses it's balance quite easily . Mike is still trying to get the spring rate just right but if there was say an extra 100lbs on the back it would work to his advantage . He's sitting at 110 inchs w/39.5 so you will be looking at about the same situation .
