I am about to start on my build. Thinking about removing the cab to do all my frame tube work. not sure if I am going to put it back on, or go full buggy. I just think it may save time and get better fit by getting to whats left of the frame from the top and bottom

So how hard is it going to be? I got the front clip cut off the cab already. I figure I can unplug the computer and get the that harness out of the cab. I wonder how much I would have to pull off the engine going to the gauges. Brake and clutch lines, and Ebrake cable. Am I missing anything? besides the fuel line?
 
It really isn't that hard Paul. You got most of the major stuff. You may want to take lots of photos and/or label sensors as you disconnect them, but otherwise it is pretty straight forward.
 
its pretty easy, especially if the front is allready cut off. I swapped cabs in about 6 hours by myself, using only hand tools and a chain hoist. Everything unplugs or can be removed. When you begin to lift the old cab, just do it slowly so you can watch to make sure its not hanging up or that you haven't missed anything
