Tim,
It looks good. The tire carrier is simple but very functional. After this weekend I have a spot in Feb. AND the race will be thursday before the big race, makes the week work better... BTW the bender is ready to go back to your shop.

I dont know if they will get past the fact its a monorail on wheels much less worry about the spare tires lol

Kinda torn about seats. The bench had to go. Rob hooked me up with his old SR5 seats which I found out this weekend are not a direct bolt in. They will work with some drilling and backing plates, but it got me thinking about other options.
I know suspension seats in Standard Cabs are tough, but I pulled a Corbeau out of the 40 and gave it a test fit. I had more room than I thought I would, even with a helmet on. BUT I'm only 5' 8" and a buck thirty soaking wet. I think I can fit some nice suspension seats and harnesses in, but it might be tight for anyone much larger than me. Might be a phase 2 option.

Looking good Tim. I will be up sat with the bender.

Haven't fully committed yet, but I may run the hoop like this instead of behind the cab. Vince suggested punching a bar through the cab to mount the shoulder harness to. Now that I see it, I think it will work nice. Complicates the X brace but what isn't complicated about an exo cage?

My yet to be finished sliders. Seemed simple. Turned our to be a giant PITA. Ask Rob or Cam - both witnessed my frustration Sat am as I fought slight manufacturing inconsistencies and QC issues Clearly the engineering was spot on and not the problem.
I still vote for behind the cab and run the bars into the cab like we talked. X-bracing and the side bracing will be much easier. Think about seat mounts.
Either way the bends look really good Tim!

Looks awesome!!!
looks great i think behind the cab punch thru the back of the cab for the harness mounts & seat frame
Looks good. What brand rear air shocks are u using?
looks like a sticky situation.
put the hoop in the back and run a u hoop off of the horizontal tube in your x brace and run the harnesses off of that. So instead of punching the tube threw the side punch it threw the back. Makes the x brace easy and gives you the seat tube also.

Won't be air shocks. I've been talking with King Shocks and Down South Motorsports about these:

I saw the cut away demo that King brought to KOH last year and was very impressed.
