Nothing special under the hood right now, just the 2 bars going through the firewall. We are going to do some type of over the engine crossmember tying the 2 together. Will get those pics when that happens.
 
This I want to see.

Looks great, coming together.

So far about 260ft DOM still have to tie it to the frame and other things here and there. Should be close to 300ft when done.

I'm don't even know what I owe them yet, I know the materials cost close to $1400. As for the labor who knows, Its a friends shop so they are hooking me up big time:bow:.
 
Hey thanks everyone for the compiments. A cage like that will run from about 3-3500. It really depends completely on what the customer wants, what they use the truck for, what kind of material, etc. Chris's cage is mostly an advertisement just to get some of our work out there.
 
man, that is a great looking cage. it'll be a serious PITA to get in and out of, but if it's not a dd, who cares. i don't think i would care even tho mine will be my dd. :) how are you going to mount the caliper on your driveline brake? that's a pretty sweet set up - never heard of anyone doing that. i'd like to know more about it.

Its a cable operated caliper, use a ebrake cable. The setup is avaliable from www.highangledriveline.com
