That full profile cage looks good with the rear corners squared off. should hold a soft top pretty well too.

Awesome work, keep it up.

 

[GarnerFJ40]

Lovely....

 

[S4Cruiser]

Looks awesome...how much would you charge to build my MT cage in a day ??

BTW - I will be taking Ramon's advice and relocating the rear spring mounts 'in' to help with the shackle angel when I install my 55 series springs.

 

[onemanarmy]

random question, but what color/brand paint did you use on the blue 40? I need some blue paint for my 55 project.

Thanks

New truck!
7.3L 6speed.....

 

[rutbeer]

Wow! That transformation is amazing! I really thought it was going to turn out looking like a 40, but those mods are WAY over the top. It really does look like a pickup now...almost factory looking.
