Got some grab handles made. Tied them into the cross bar for maximum protection.

So how did you end up getting it out past the frame tie-in plates?

It wasn't too bad. We lifted the passenger side up against the lip and put a block under it. Then we were able to get the driverside up and out. It's tight but really wasn't too bad.
Finished yet? Estimated time of completion?

Cage is essentially done (waiting on my 40's before I do the cage tie-in's).
Still left on the list:
-Build shifter linkage for the t-case
-Build driveshafts
-Build rear cross-member / skid plate
-Mount rear shocks
-rework the trac bar
-exhaust
THAT IS TIDY!
Excellent photos - top quality welds.

Thanks guys. Nick done a great job on the cage. I think it turned out better than either of us expected.
Will be working on the twin stick shifter linkage tonight. It's going to be a pretty trick.

I know I sound like a broken record but........Are you done yet?
He's getting closer. Still need to tie in the cage to the frame. (Been waiting on the new wheels and tires before working on those.) Still need both driveshafts made. shifter linkage is almost finished I think (as of last update that I got). No rear seats yet either. Front stinger, I'm sure I'm leaving something else out. It's kinda got to the point of waiting on the shifter linkage because you can't put the cage in until the tranny tunnel is in which requires the shifters to be done. All in good time. I think they will make good progress this long weekend. I, unfortunately, have to work Saturday and Sunday.
