Nice work, looks really good to! If you put a X on the top of the cage it would help stiffen it up a bit ;)

Yea we decided to cross the rear section of the top last night . Pics to come later.
Approximately 110 ft 1.25 dom tubing.
The top slides right out the back.
And Yes we'd be happy to build one for any ones Zuke . Just bring it to Astoria.
This cage wont be removable . It would be easy enough to design one that was though. Just have to machine sockets.
Thanks for all the feed back...Boxcar...

Now on to the steering issue.
 Needed a high steer system and don't like the Mercedes Knock off arms. I don't like the idea of removing my steering arms every time I service my callipers.
I will modify the Toyota system design.
 Provides for brake service , without disturbing the steering. And ads plenty of Clarence.

Had a wheel Clarence issue, but was easily corrected with a grinder.
Tested the rig yesterday...
