Looks good to me. I'd say keep it. It does look close so body rub might be a problem. Time will tell!

continued with exocage

Due to positive responses, we proceeded with the external rollcage. All of the bend were completed today and the cage has now been removed for paint. took a couple pics. A buddy happened by that is a welder by trade to lay some slick tigging on it. I posted his pic just for giggles. bboy

Really nice. I like it.

 

[79Stomper]

That is SWEET. Now you have me thinking about an exo cage. Let me know how it works on your first trail ride. Only hting I would be worried about is te cage hanging up on a rock and restricting my movemnet...... NIce Job, that is a sharp exo cage.

 

[ryoken]

[muddyblzr]

I'll let you know if it hinders the wheeling. I was shooting a completion by Feb. but I'm thinking that may be a little unrealistic. I still have a lot to do the worst of which is switching the output on a 4l80e and wiring a vortec 350 to the factory wiring harness. thanks for the comments, bboy

That is one slick cage It flows into those bumpers nicely! How long did it take you to complete?

 

[85mudblazin]

have you thought about putting a bar across thet rear fender?? or do you not care about it

 

[bboy]

rear quarters

I'm hoping that the 1/8" checker plate on the rear quarters will protect them. Time will tell.

stallion85 The cage took two weeks not including the bumpers. External cages seem to be time consuming. Any mistakes are right out there in the open for everyone to see. bboy

I like!

Again my comment is that a Bar at the same hight as the bar on the front be added to the rear. I use to rip the side off my K5 all the time and trashed dozens of tail lights. The rear quarter likes to lean on stuff.

 

[mrk5]

Sweat!

Looks kinda like a Mad Max K5.

 

[MTBLAZER89]

Did ya get any completed pics yet? I am really startin to think about going this route.
