OK, so here's my update

Now I have to remove it, finish welding it, then start on the front halo and uprights, door bars etc.

Door bars

Painless wiring harness going in

That will work fine, even with a bushing setup, you are stiill going to "reduce" flex.

Also, lets face it, the factory FJ40 body mounts do jack s*** for "isolating and allowing flex". They are basically a 1/4 inch piece of rubber.

Yup.
As for the body flex and all that..... 2 of the 6 portions of floor where the cage muonts AREN'T rotten.
It's been a hell of a long time,. I want this thing done.

that's some serious diameter in your front pilar and cage ..

2 inch .120 wall DOM.
Should work.
( I don't have a 1.75 bender die yet)

This was my problem as well, I really wanted 1.75..but I guess 2" will have to do.

Sorry for being so late on the subject but here are some pics of a friends 40 I built & at the bottom of the page it has the tie-ins with bushings at the chassis points. Previous pages should have the cage build-up pics I think if you want to look for incab ties. Has pics of cage out of body complete sitting on the ground.
