Finally! Cage pictures inside...

Tough to take cage pics with the top on, but I did the best I could. Thanks again Alexis, couldn't have done it without you. I will powdercoat it and get some good rollbar padding on it when the top comes off in the spring.







Couldn't be happier!

The welder wasn't happy with the spreader up front, so he made his own to spread the bars out! The glove box actually opens!

Looks good. I've seen a few trucks where they trimmed the corner off the glove box. Sounds like you found yourself a good resource down there...

neck insurance!!

I think this should make everyone riding feel more secure. I've seen rollovers in these removeable top rigs before, often flattened to the top of the bed. I'm getting to old and big to squish down that low anymore. Very nice setup. Smittybuilt always made good products. Someday I may share pics of a Ford with similar setup.
