I picked up a new to me cage from Scout Dude (thanks again Joel).

Thought I'd post up some tech (all-be it minimal).

It's a non family cage, but the tube goes to the rear of the bed at an angle. It's got roughly 58' of tube.

2 12.5' lengths (going from back of bed to passenger or driver feet.
6 4.5' lengths (2 pillars, & 4 crossbars)
The crossbars connect the 12.4' lengths above the windshield & below (above steering wheel), as well as behind the seats & above the seats.
2 3' lengths (connecting the 2 over-head crossbars).

I still need to ad about 20'.
2 lengths connecting the cab pillars (front & rear).
2 crossbars connecting the above lengths (for seat mounts).

No other pix.
That is Joel's Scout before he removed it last year.

The cage is currenlty in pieces for sanding (it was only tac-welded).

Very nice ~ I like the fast-back look.

Very nice indeed ~ I know those main bar bends are not easy to do :eek:
