Got the cage finished today! Finally! Heres a few pics
The cross bracing all done... Hopefully it will keep me and my copilot safe
I put these in the corners of the roof
Bad picture but here you can kinda see the dash bar
I also added some fender protectors... That way I can slide over rocks rather than just smash my fenders
I had a little extra tube so I made a support for the bed so it won't completely crush if it gets hit.. But I donno how well it will work... Might have been a waste of time? I'll post pictures of that tomorrow.
My list before delta:
Install seats/seat belts
Install hydro assist.
Mount 35s on my bead locks
Take my arb pump to kurt at CRUISEROUTFITTERS and have him help me make it work with the disconnect
Install shocks
Buy/mount suck down winches
Take a few leafs out of the rear spring pack.
Make flat belly cross member
I've got a lot of work ahead of me...

So today I got a bit done,
I added a few "less cool looking" braces to the floor/b pillar, they don't have the cool holes.. But you can't really see them either
I got the cage completely done
I mounted the seats
I built a holy sh!t bar
I got the tube doors back on
I welded one of my roses to the cage
I also mounted the hydro ram.. But didn't take pictures
And took 2 leafs out of each rear spring, I lowered the truck at least 3 inches.. Maybe 4? I'm thinking about puting a sway bar on the rear? For stability? Any ideas there?
Tomorrow I'm going to weld my bead locks, add plate to my frame for the steering box/finish the hydro, Mount the fire extinguishers, bolt the seat belts on and see what else I can get. Friday I'll be heading out to lowrange to get my crossmember made, saturday i can mount the tires Monday Kurt will be back from cruise Moab.. So I can bug him and sometime in there I need to repaint it, add stickers and shocks. This is going to work!

Here's the update, nick down at lowrange spent some time after hours with Rawlin and I and busted out a sweet flat belly cross member, soon enough low range is actually going to be making and selling a FLAT BELLY KIT!!! That would make things easy!
I got the 35s mounted, thanks bear!!!
Fire extinguisher, kill switch and harnesses
And heres a shot of what I did with the bed, I'm not sure how much it will help? But we will see?
^ notice I took strattonstacie's advice, werock rules say you can remove doors and tailgates so for better visual... See ya later alligator!

thanks guys! i really appreciate it! im getting really excited, its been a lot of work, luckly REAL WORK has been slow so i can finish it up. i really want to paint zebra stripes on it, but dont have a clue as to what im doing? any ideas? my little neices and nephews will totally think it rocks with zebra stripes
Since your are mountain Yoats this is fitting ,
Their head tends to be smaller than other breeds and is easily noticeable too. With a life span of 20 to 24 years and an average weight of 240 to 350kg, the Mountain Zebras are considered endangered. With their strong limbs and tough bodies, this breed is well suited for overcoming topographical elements, such as dunes and mountains, thus earning the name "Mountain Zebra".
This is kind like a Toyota lol

As for the strips. Vertical in the front and horizontal in he back , lines tend to be pretty straight .
I like that you want to make the little ones a part of it as well.

I wonder if you could get sponsored by a wrap/vinyl company. That'd make the zebra stripes easy.
