A couple more. BTW, there will be a re-build thread when I get started.. I still drive it like this, because it still works so well, and hunting season is coming.. lol.. I'll post it in the fab section, since there will be LOTS of fab work. From making new body panels, replacing the roof, remounting the radiator, getting rid of the dash & reconfiguring the front of the cage accordingly, to the swinging rear bumper & winch bumper up front.

Thanks! That sounds like a big.project! gettin rid of the dash sounds like a really cool idea though, im interested to see.how that.turns out. I might follow your foot steps on that one. So i have a few questions on your cage, where did you tie all the pieces down to? Like where are the bottom of all the tubes welded to?

Edit: in the pic above, you can see the cage mounted on top of the front sq. tube.

Here are a few pics.. In the bottom pic you can see the cage mounted to the side of the frame stiffener, to the left of the shock. Seats are custom for a Polaris Ranger & mounted to the cage.
