Although the pickups crack out there too from the hinges not being oiled and the door getting hard to open and forcing them. Anyway, that cage will definitely stiffen up the tub in the door opening area and help out a lot when you off road it.

Glad to see your making good progress and getting to enjoy it. Nothing better than cruizing around with the top off!
That makes perfect sense and I know the PO wheeled it with no top on, good call!

And thank you both for the compliments.
