Wow! How are you tying both the upper and lower section in?

Rmc · Post by **Rmc** » Sun Jan 19, 2014 10:22 pm

What do you mean upper and lower? There's the the front windshield bar, the B pillar tubes, and that's it besides all the frame ties.

That's what I meant. How does it tie into the frame?

Rmc · Post by **Rmc** » Sun Jan 19, 2014 10:31 pm

Oh gotcha. Well j tubes at the A pillars, crossbar on the floor at the b pillars with straight inline floor plates, at the C pillar 2 diagonals with floor plates above the frame rails. So after all this junk I will install solid body mount set and short risers to floor plates between the floor and frame. So 6 cab frame ties total, 4 via floor plate, 2 via J tube with floor plates.

Damn well thought out

I'm half inclined to build a giant jig to replicate this thing but that would be quite a mission all by it self. It would sure be nice to be able to buy something like this plug and play.

Good enough for who it's for.

Finished welding up the cage this past week, ready for install agian. 2 last bars to fit in place then final install. I also ordered a 4ft sheetmetal brake today so I'm stoked!

Kind of... Yes similar for now, mine will look a bit different after I add in all the gusseting.

Your fab guy did a good job on yours. I like it!

So this past weekend I had a friend help me slide the cage back in for fitment of the last 2 tubes. Next up, remove it and paint it before final install.
