Need exo ideas and pics for Fullsize - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Let's all gather our astute knowledge of fabrication and structural conception to show me what to build.
Here's a pic of the rig that shows the cab well. We didn't move for another 3 hours after this was taken near the BambiInn.

I've never seen it done on a fullsize, & my opinion is my truck is wide & tall enough already, I'm not doing anything to make it any bigger. Mine's going in the cab. Sorry I really couldn't help much on this one.

I agree...I have been thinking about doing it to mine, but decided it is already to wide, any wider and the cage will just hang me up more.

I agree with your comments, however after watching folks run Little Sluice my windshield & door frames would be toast quite quickly even with an internal cage. Thanks for the .02c though.

Stonyford, The other posts are right, for them!! As for you I like the thinking on your rig and if you are allready so big then whats another few inches right! Can't help with a photo but just look at the million yota's on the trail with exo's and blow it up on your cpoi machine and you are done.... Good luck and post when done. L8TR

I agree with the above post. Lets put a cage on that hog. Email that pic and I'll throw out some ideas tomorrow at work. Then I can take some time off work and I'll help you bend it at the old shop or something. If you want. How about during Christmas break. If you wanna do it down here maybe me you and eg should go in on a tubing bender then we can be doin' some things. Let me know.. steve
