    My truck was the last of the few that never even had ABS. Only time I wish I had it is on wet roads.

    is this the red hawk fab 4runner? Cool truck but I would take his specs with a grain of salt and verify the matierals on the cage before you start claiming it could get score tagged. He has been known to cut some corners in the past, not saying he did with your rig but its something to keep in mind, especially if all the interior tubing has been painted.

    When i say cut corners take a look at his POS super duty, that thing is going to kill someone driving down the road someday.

    your totally right, me and george (tacorunner) were talking and we dont know what tubing it was made with. is there any type of test we can do to find out if its seamless or not? the main frame is 2inch tubing but we dont know much more. all the welds look solid, and the welds on the top by the roof are all 360 degree welded.

    i have only seen a couple score tagged cages in person. but tonight when i go over there ill look at it more in detail and take some pictures with my phone. we will post them up and maybe some of you guys can help us tell what it really is. in my eyes the only thing its lacking (if it isnt seamless tubing) is gussets.


    edit: and i know that there is more to a score tagged cage than this btw lol

    The things required to pull bitches
    Strip the paint on some tube to see if there's a blue seam. And drill a tiny hole to see the wall thickness.

    no it isnt, hes going to the navy, and his ship date is in like a month, so hopefully when he gets back.

    but thats pretty much all it needs

    will it always have a blue seam? or could they "hide" it?

    Still has at least an inch or two more of droop but that's as far as the jack would go.

    I prefer a tough/scenic trail over a bunch of whoops and "hucking" IMO... :p
    But this thing is fkn nice and I would love to tear ass across the desert in this beauty. And a few other member's posting in here.
