    I saw a facebook video of a guy saying if you are planning to seriously offroad a cage is the first thing to do. But in most cases people don't know they like it it until they have spent and sold thousands of dollars in parts to work their way up.

    yep can confirm. Cage your shit! And tie it in together engine cage/cab/bedcage. After lawn darting my truck years ago in Pismo went off of a razor back in the fog. 40 ft to front bumper without truck being caged front to back 100 % Truck would have been totaled. Instead just tweaked the frame, snapped shock shaft, ripped the lower off the sub frame.

    Sucks to suck

    I’m just the slightest bit paranoid attending those with my “nice”vehicle
    Cause I see so many rigs get stolen from that parking lot.
    Post pics for those of us who avoided it :bananadance:

    Definitely a thing.
    Also why I drove the daily there lol

    not want to take many photos, some solid drivers during the show. Some white first GEN Tundra ripped it pretty hard and was up on two wheels for a small stint… Not sure if it was planned, but he went off the bigger ramp with only the passenger side.
    This bronco ripped. The thing could pretty much wheelie out of corners, Both front tires almost leaving the ground

    Evap core? Is that an emissions part? I only ask because I've having a bunch of Evap codes related to the emissions system on my truck. No evap core on any of my diagrams. Already replaced a lot of my sh*t, and they keep coming back. Hope I don't gotta dissect my truck to that extent before I cage either lol.

    HVAC system, not emissions. No emissions equipment inside the cab.
