oh yeah..as far as finishing it...the center bar where the shocks mount to...forward of that will be a flat deck for air tank and spare...aft. of the bar will be a "basket" of sorts made of expanded steel for my cooler and junk. the 280 bucks was what i spent on my entire cage so far...still got more bars for the front and sides to put on.

well...i havent got to the point where i can drive it "comfortably" on the street...im guessing it isnt...but once it is finished i'll put quick-dissconnect semi truck mud flaps on the back and drive it around. as far as the design...just kinda pictured it in my head as i was bending tube... :grin: where do you go wheelin? my favorite spot got closed here by mt. baker
