    That rating has nothing to do with rollover survival, it just rates how easy it is to flip. As a former tow truck driver, I can tell you many people do not survive highway speed rolls...

    This is the truth, I got very lucky. The rating is just on how easy the vehicle rolls. Not on how it holds up in one.

    Rollovers are fun when you have a cage. :)Here is the result when you avoid a stupid Dirtbike rider. Kill the guy on the race course or roll my truck. Decided to roll the truck instead. Good times. It's all good. New roll cage/ cab is in and we should be racing Ridgecrest April 12

    Bypass?

    Length? Cycle The suspension to find the extended and collapsed numbers and find the right shock that fits those requirements.
    As for how many tubes or what size to go with (2.0, 2.5, 3.0 etc) that is all up to you and how much money you want to spend.

    I hear they smell like a mixture of two stroke oil and bong water.

    I think Nefertiti will be fine with the halo in the back since you are in a single cab. Obviously it is not nearly as safe as a full cage but still a HUGE safety upgrade from nothing. Plus it will save you a lot of room in your SC and keep it way more DD friendly.

    x2 it definitely wouldn't hurt, but the first picture is a little more sleeper and cleaner imo. I don't see why they couldn't tie into the low pro one and do an external b pillar and cage through the cab down the line,plus they could put the nubs through the cab like jeff has (iirc)
    personally i think the second picture is kinda gaudy and definitely doesn't save on bed space. and is probably quite a bit more expensive

    This. Gelo, take a look at MJP2's build and he does not have anything at roof level out of the back and he is score tagged. What shop is telling you that you cant do that? His supports go directly through the rear windows (now plexiglass) and tie into the bedcage
