I can add the triangulation to it for cheap. Can't practice bending, the metal, and my time are outweighed with it.

Its not a bad starter base. I know i would have to add to it, thats not a big deal since it's kinda meant to be that way. I'dd add more to the B pillar and rear hatch area and stretchers for sure. I dont know what I'll do lol

No link Travis, just spent a while surfing the part #'s on Summit, I will post the soft side set up, one end is an AN-3 banjo adaptor, the other end is an AN-3 to 3/8 x 24 inverted flare, from there it will go to a Tee fitting that has (2) 3/8 x 24 female inverted flare fittings so standard hard lines work, then the center one that goes to the soft line that connects up to the body is a -3 fitting also. If I have things figured out, and I convert the front over also, I could keep 2 spare soft lines in the trailer, one long one that would work for either side front or the line that connects the axle to the body, and a shorter one for the rear calipers. I thought of trying to make all 5 the same but that was going to suck, might just carry one long spare and could throw a few coils in it if I need to. Using AN style fittings make it real easy to carry female and male caps to remove and isolate if there becomes an issue with any part of the system. Last year over at MM I spit a front caliper, then it pushed one of the pistons out and I was pretty much done for the day, with this set up I could just cap the line and keep on gettin it with 3 brakes.

Will, my cage is a T&J Performance 8 point kit. Paid like 650 shipped a couple years ago. I don't think they list it on their site but I think they still make them. Give em a call.

I'll call when I get off. I'm still looking around at some starter cages. I'm doing a pair of seats first though.

Granted, it does say it comes with a harness bar and diagonal bracing.
