Hint....drill holes in floor so cage will drop down so you can weld top.
^^ This! And keep the receipt for when you go exo-cage!

I'll be watching this as I'm about to do the same...
Where is that cage from?

What chu selling @FJ?Hope you where planning on tying it to the frame. If not guess/hope you are now.
Should just buy mine and be done. I'll even bring it to AOP for you.

I'm lurking in your clubhouse guys cuz I have started dismantling an '81 Trecker and am using @tgreco 's thread for guidance/inspiration.
Stuck between resto or wheeler...
It's pretty far gone, floors are worse than yours for sure.

Is plate A at floor height? Hard to tell from pic.Alright, looking for thoughts on if this passes the Internet sniff test (because that's all that really matters, right).
My current plan (see pic below): run horizontal tube from frame to slider and T into the horizontal with a vertical tube. The vertical will then be capped with the plate that came with the cage below the floor pan. This plate will be bolted to the other plate that is welded to the bottom of the a pillar tube and sits on top of the floor pan (thus the floor pan will be sandwiched between the 2 plates - this may cause some issues in itself but I'll make that sacrifice). All frame tie in material is 2" 0.25 hrew tube.
My main concern is the horizontal frame to slider tube bending/shearing in a hard hit on the roof. I plan to plate the frame and gusset the tube frame junction.
So the real question, would you ride in my truck with this cage design?

Considering any body lift in the future?
Could you whack the factory body mounts and make the slider support tube intgrate all three uses?
In the picture the "A" plate is not but it will be. In regard to integrating all of the mounts, I'm sure it could be done but I'm not going down that road - that would require too much brain power and fab time.
