Sexton off-road in Kamas mentioned something recently about custom roll bars. Check them out!

I'm in the middle of one right now for htrddzl and after it I have some other stuff lined up. (like one in my H3). I would be a few months out.
This was my other recommendation but I couldn't remember who did it.

Is it a full interior truck or is it stripped?
It is a full interior truck. A couple other things are if it is possible build it with removability so if I ever sell the truck I can give the next owner the option to have it or not. Not sure if it's realistic but I would like to be caged before the event in st gorge in January.

How about buying something like this and having your fabricator add tube for the rear cab section and work around the doors? (Unfortunately that company doesn't make a kit for a early double cab Tacoma) The tube work around the dash is what will take the most time & effort... a kit like this removes the guess work. - http://www.4xinnovations.com/19955--2004-Extended-Cab-Tacoma-Roll-Cage_p_17.html
It could be built to be removed, but that will just add time & complexity to the project. You could use tube clamps in the right places and unbolt it from the floor, but it would have to be well thought out.

UNSTUCK
But stuck more often.
Thanks for the referrals guys! I'm busy with another project right now that will take me well into the new year.
Interior cages are the hardest to build, and most expensive. So it is worth it to do it right the first time around. In the pictures in the link greg posted, the a pillar looks awful to me. Remember, every bend in a tube is a failure point waiting to happen. I would recommend pulling the dash and following the windshield. I don't know what's behind the dash so not sure if that's an option or not. I guess my thought is if you are building a rig that you feel needs a cage, then so will the next owner, and therefore would not want it removed. The best part of going behind the dash is knowing you will never hit your knees on it.

I've gotta hand it to you guys! An internal cage is a pain to build, specially with full interior. I'm a big fat feller with arthritis, so it is truly painful. I don't know how the heck you guys weld around the top of the tubes. On my sons rig I finished a few months ago. I cut the top off and built the cage and then welded the roof back on. Of course I'm a getto fabber! ( hence the getto fab garage stickers)
