Thanx F/K I think the size looks good in the zuk although I'm going to have to cut the tops of the doors off, the tubing hits and pushes out the area where the window track sits, just the price you pay to play besides doors are over rated

Thanx I m really happy with the way its turned out so far considering only having a hydro bender, 1pump to quick and kink
goes the pipe, the hardest part was the winshield hoop, I have a little flat spot in the drivers 90 but not enough to want to redue the entire thing. Im hopin the jd2 doesnt kink anybody have any comments on the 90 deg that a jd2 can do. gonna order the bender, deg wheel, and one 2" 180 deg for now more dies later.

Well thats what you get when you get shit from 4wd wholesalers
they mount and ship out the wrong tires after waiting a month for the 2" B.S rims they were supposed to be swampers. There getting cut befofe the melt more rubber than a bogger,more side lug too + plenty to cut my own pattern into themI really dont have any complaint with them as they are right now they've performed realy well compared to what i have heard but everyone has there own opinion's based on what there buddys have.

Like the cage Scott but one question. It looks like the rear of the cage is tied to the body rails, do you think it may crush in a roll?

For now yes there tied into the rear corner if ya look at your corners they are thin but because of the bends and fold there is alot of strength, in the near future the bed will go bub I and the rear bars will get tied into a bed rail from rear main hoop and also down to the frame also i dont have a rear seat so no pass. to worry about just my gear, spare tire and lunch it's all expendible as long as the front dont give which I doubt it's all 2" .125 DOM so it's all good. the bars are welded to 1/4" plate which is welded and bolted to the top rail, the front main Hoop is welded to1/4" plate feet which is bolted to 4"x5" 1/4" plate underneath the truck which is also welded to the 4x4 rock rail which are welded directly to th body IT AINT GOING NO WHERE saabiar
