    I didn't really get a good picture of it, I'll get one up tomorrow. It was hydrolocked when we finally got it back over

    Those iroks can suck sometimes. Probably why you didn't have any traction... Can't think of any other reasons :luvya:

    Lmao. What's funny is I've been up this ledge probably 20 times, once in the pouring rain.

    Damage really isn't that bad considering.. I worked on it for about 30 min today and got the door to open and close after some work with a floor jack and some washers for shims; glass still goes up and down too.

    If you need a new rear window, I still have my passenger side one sitting in the garage.

    YES, you are the man. What do you want for it? Is it black tint or that reflective stuff?

    It's tinted. Whatever you think is fair, or at least just cover shipping haha. Looks like the cage held up really well!

    Either way works for me but I definitely want it! And I was very pleased with the cage. I haven't found any damage to the cage at all other than the obvious scratching but no dents or crinkles in the tube. I'm going to clean it up tomorrow and go over all the welds just to be sure.

    Haha yeah it really worked out well considering. The only damage to the cage I have found is a penny sized dent in one of the roof tubes

    I'm really wanting to try a different tire as I've had iroks on both my rigs. If anyone comes across any deals let me know. My wheels/tires are currently broken down since I've started my building my beadlocks so if I could make a change while the tires are off it will save me some work. I'd love to pitbulls but would have to step down to a 37 since the 39.5's only come 16.5" wide and I don't know how well my truck would hold the 42's. Creepies, mtr kevlars are also options
