Looking to have a Interior Cage put im my 04 Tacoma. I'm on the east coast-unfortunately! I also need others opinions/recommendations for shops here on the east coast that can handle this sort of job. I want to have a full interior cage-chromoly tubing put in my 04' Tacoma. I would like the design and install to be like a Trophy Truck. I would also like the seats to mount to the cage as well as seat belts, bottom line I want the whole setup like a Trophy Truck. My interior is all in mint condition and already stripped-everythings for sale, so the truck is ready to be brought somewhere to have the cage done. I'm just having problems finding a place to do it and a design I like or at least something to work off of. Thanks to all those who post. I will buy my red star and then post some pics of the truck and what has already been done to it.

Probably not what you are looking for but I have an Offroad Solutions cage in my truck with a few added tubes :D

Where on the east coast are you? If you are anywhere around NC I would recommend rockdust fab ( http://rockdustfab.com/ ).

Here is a collection of photographs I have pulled off the web. I almost built an internal cage earlier this summer but found that it left so little room in the cab I ditched it. I am now working on making an exo-cage.

wow, lbz! nice looking cage, were you able to weld it outside the truck and sneak it back in or did you rip out the whole interior?

lbz, do you have a passenger side airbag? I have one and am wondering about the legality of covering it with a dash bar :D

Thanks... The whole thing was built inside the cab and welded to the frame.. It was kinda a pain in the ass at times.

As for the airbag.. What airbag?? :smokin:

you can select to turn off the passenger airbag, on mine at least so I wouldn't think you would run into legal problems having a bar there. As long as its turned off

I figured the only time the airbag should be turned off is when you have a small child or baby in the passenger seat otherwise it should always be on :confused:
