Well I guess I can call the cage done!!! 
I have to put a cross brace under the hood for the front shocks but that is nothing, also threw a seven dollar paint job on most of it. Hope I can get my rod ends this weekend and planning on going to get some 39.5 Irocks on beadlocks saturday!!!

You should have something in the center of your roof. I am guessing that you are trying to retain the use of the sunroof, but having something come thru the roof in a roll over will suck big time.

In reality this started as a tube bed and ended up an exo, I don't plan on rolling which no one ever does that being said this is more of a crawling beer drinking rig than all out acting stupid rolling setup.

I agree with this guy, with the rear 4 link and bigger tires you will be trying harder stuff, the rollover is inevitable.Lil ugly said:

With the shocks leaned that much I bet it will have crazy body roll, especially with tri uppers and straight lowers.

Another thing is I am out of tube ant the money is going to tires and rod ends for the rear so the roof bars are destined for a later date. But I am sure the design will be improved in as I go.

My rear axle rolled back on me pulled the drive shaft in two , the wheel base won't be that long.

Finally getting some more done, I made it to Birmingham today and got the last bit of steel I need.
Started on my tabs and lower link mounts for the frame.
Boxed all the way out
Tabs for the rear axle
I only had two bolts so I will have to get some more tomorrow before I can start on the other bars :afro: but anyway it won't be long now!!!!

Making huge progress last day or so! I needed some more tabs for the front of the uppers so I made some more tabs.
Then I cut a plate for the frame and to weld the tabs too for some strength. I welded the plate to the frame and then figured y separation and welded my tabs in place.
Tacked on my upper link mounts axle side then set my pinion angle just a fuzz and then measured and cut my links and yes they were the same length first try!
After all that I figured I would test flex it and this ***** will get loose!
got a lot more travel but the engine hoist wanted to flip lol!
I lowerd it just a bit from this pick but I have about 24 1/4" belly at this point, except the lower link mounts and they are 20'
Had to go do some **** pipe plumbing at my sisters
uke: and fooled aroud a bit making these before I cam in for the night.
Hope I got it finished by the weekend!

One of the best "transformations" I've seen from a single owner!
Most of the time it's "once a booty fab hack jobber, always a booty fab hack jobber".
