Like or not???

Sick ass rig, exo should be closer to the body panels, tight is aight!

 

well i did it with a harbor freight hand pump pipe bender so i got what i got. Im in the market to buy a computerized bender to make everything purfect.

 

Damn! Really? Can I come over and play? Have fun droppin' nickels!

 

hahahhaa yeah its funny most people that talk shit seem to have a stock truck right off the lot lol never got any grease under their nails. i used DOM Tube. and iv thought about all the stuff you said but its my daily driver also soooooo i dont need bars going up my windsheild but i might just build some tube doors and the back isnt done yet or the roof. ran out of cash for more pipe

 

^don't listen to the haters bro...they are just envious of your skills and jealous at the fact that you have the skills and work shop to build something like this...

they have no idea what it would cost in parts let alone labor costs...

seeing as you built this yourself I commend you...

i got some ideas for a 2nd gen roll cage for the interior part of the cab but I would like to roll cage to be hidden in the interior body panels....yes I would need to redo the interior panels to allow the roll cage to fit...but i like the stealth factor...

 

a shop? lol i do all this in my driveway lol

 

work shop/garage same thing if you got the tools to do it with...

I got a garage but only basic tools...when I purchase my house I will be buying tons of tools...i got friends that will give me cost price on MATCO and SNAP ON Tools...can't beat that...unless you willing to give them to me for free...

 

yeah if i had a garadge to do it in i would lol my truck is too tall to put it in their and my grandfathers cars all all jammed into it lol!!! gotta love the packrats!

 

the exo design is nice, and I do agree that the tube bumper is kinda "busy" looking.

 

yes it is lol!!!! that was a trial and error before i built the cage and just left it. a 2am job that i got tired and went inside lol!

 

I think if you redid that pre-runner loop in the front it would change the whole look of the front end. If you wanted to calm it down I would make that loop to mimic the outline of the stock grill.

 

thought about it but iv used that loop more than once lol great for pushing trees over and keeps them away from my 8" HID's but the lower part of the bumper needs to be redone

 

you see on the end of the bumper where you have the lower bar ending outside of the fender wrap bar coming in to meet at teh same location? If you wanted to you could have them meet at teh same location so when you take a hit on the lower bumper that force transfers into the fender wrap tubing making it stronger. As of now if you took a good enough hit it would just bend the outside of the bumper where that tube is. I would also think welding the end of the tube closed would make it look pretty good as well.

If you wanted to change the look of the lower bar you can copy the lines I made or make it rounded to kinda match the amount of curves you already have on the truck. I personally like the curved and matching idea.

 

that is what i was thinking/ money is tight for more tube so as it sits might be the way its going to sit for a bit. but i think we are on the same page

 

Yeah I just submitted a project for bid that is a gate that consists of all 3/4" square iron. I have a feel the bids are going to be extremely high.

 

yes they are lol cost of metal has gone threw the roof!
