You havent seen the pile of scrap from getting it wrong :laugh: Also... is by no means MSA approved spec :blink:
Kiethy:
Thanks mate, it was a nightmare making the cage fit around that thing. The passenger side cage is basically a mirror so it all looks the same. Once finished it will look even hopefully

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationYay! the cage is finished (bar taking off to final weld and paint).
Finished fitting the rockslider to the driver side and welded plates/outriggers to the chassis. Rocksliders bolt onto the outriggers so the cage can be removed.
Made up another foot plate for the driver side to bolt to the roof bar bolts. Also made the bar to go above the windscreen and bars at the front wings (brush bars). The brush bars are welded to the cage, but have a bolt down plate where they meet the front bumper, again to allow the cage to be removed.
Also some of these huge wheel arches arrived this week, they will be needing a bit of trimming, but will do nicely for the back wheels:
and some of these for the floor of the pickup bed. nice and sturdy

Riccy going down the same route , Would a wider trailer have been better for the pick up would have given you some where to hang your mud guards.
