nice to see someone who is actually going to carry their cage to the front of the vehicle. i think your rig is a two door otherwise those long bars along the door area are really gonna make it difficult to get in and out of. obviously a cage is going to get in the way somewhere but the more planned and thought out the less of an pain in the a$$ it becomes. will you be chopping off the back of the top as well, it looks like the old school wrangler and cj factory "cages", personally i love the way that looks, so long as you aren't going to have passengers back there.

It looks weel thought out and safe to me. CAn you explain a little more how you're going to do the front end. I'm guessing you're going to have to go through the dash for it to go straight forward in front of the a-pilar. Will you be able to get it in the fenders or will it go inside the engien bay where you have it drawn? Is the cowl in front of the dash? Just curios as I need to find a solution to this on mine.

hay could you send me a burned copy of that program??:laugh3: or at least design a cage system that turns my 85 4 dr into a truggy while leaving all the skin on, ( WHEN i roll it, i will just remove the skin and vuala instant truggy):laugh3: nice design and the only suggestion would be over head adding 1 or 2 braces fwd and aft ( over head A to B )

 

[tealcherokee]

its all external, the fenders will fit out

[Mr.OverKill]

I'm with Steagall, the only thing I see missing, is some triangulation of the halo hoop.

Looks awesome otherwise.
