    I like SOS also, they are more expensive though. I know that the square is just the "base" if you will. They come welded for a specific angle, and I would like to see what they look like. However, if nobody can post pictures (I've asked in the 4X thread too), I'll take my money to SOS

    Go-fast or not. I personally won't be in harnesses without an internal cage.
    Dead tubes, lack of triangulation, tie-in points, etc. are all problems with exo's.

    I don't think it'll do much to save the cab for the reasons Jason mentioned, plus it would be difficult to get fully welded. Coupled with the problem that there's enough flexibility in the steel, the cab will get tagged in a rollover/flop anyway.

    No sir. You would see lift blocks if it was lifted there. As far as i know, they are to help keep the leaves packed evenly in the middle of the leaf pack.

    Drop bracket lift and booger welds


    I've always been torn on exo cages. They almost always look ugly but I can see them potentially saving the cab from being completely destroyed. That being said most things I have seen exo cages on are not DD's and look like shit most of the time as well so they sometimes seem pointless. I look at an exo cage as something strictly there to save body panels, not my life.

    Now if you did an exo cage and internal caging you would keep your truck looking like your truck, and have something that can maintain structural integrity, but will most likely look like absolute garbage. At that point you may as well do a fully welded buggy or something.

    Double the weight, double the tube work...and for what? If you're going expecting an exo to prevent your truck from turning into a raisin from smashing around rocks...you're in for a rude awakening.

    Look closer. There's a slider handle on the front of the seat.
    Besides...do you grow or shrink on a daily basis necessitating adjusting the seat :notsure:

    All depends on how far they slide forward... I think for me... the part that would bug me is how low they seem to be... I'm 6'2, but would still rather sit up brushing my head against the roof than sit down low... just kills my FOV too much for my liking
