Stop complaining. At least you're getting some rain. It hasn't rained here in I don't know when. It's been over 100 every day for the last two weeks. If it started raining, I would go out in it and do some work on my junk (as long as it didn't involve electricity).

I've been doing electrical in the rain.
I just unhook the battery, and close the hood.

I work in the rain all the time lol. Its only water right?
Ideas have been stewing in my brain.
Got some cage ideas, too.
Gonna stick a dash bar in and then get a windshield bar in. Im thinking a V then run the 2 nodes straigh back to b pillar, then go a little ways then kick out to catch the sides of c pillar. with a brace on either side.
Then as soon as i do this boatside, im gonna do seat mounts added in, then figure out what to do for b pillar bracing. I dont really want to do an X for ease of getting passengers in the back, so will have to work that out.
kind alike this

I'm wondering how -uh hmm..- "street legal" the windshield to dash bar V tube will be with regards to blocking the drivers view & if the local popo enforces such a thing.
...But then if they really wanted to mess with you they probably would have given you a mud flap ticket or something stoopid like that by now.

Hey, there's actually lugs now!
Well couldnt afford 150 bucks for the 2x6 tubing... so i ended up making a bumper center, and throwing a stinger on it.
Will be getting some tube on the sides, as well as a tube from side up to stinger.
P.S.
I need to get my 42s back on. These tires are pathetic
SOmething like this

I was expecting this EPIC stinger bar....
Then I saw that cute lil' thing...
Gonna look nice when done!
I'm gonna go buy a bolt on rollbar tomoro, off CL.
getting 50ft of tube tommorow for some cage action.
Gonna do a dash bar, V windshield bar, take out old bent b pillar to c pillar bar and put a straight one, horizontal tubes runnuning from a pillar to c pillar from windshield bar, then coming off b pillar and kinking and hitting outsides of c pillar.
Then with what i have left debating going from b pillar to center of truck on either side.
But i want my passengers to be able to get in, not sure how to work that.

You're gonna have to do some kind of drawing or something so we can get this in mind's eye. I think I can picture it but we need some paint action. I'm sure it's gonna be cool no matter what.
