Changing the cage because I have no need for a family style cage at this point and planning to loose some of the weight. Overall going to be trying to change some weight distribution and lower the CG, I might even be pulling the body lift. We will see what happens before Bronco Safari and then get the rest done later.

Nice clean lines I like it!,
For the A-pillar top cross bar are you putting the wiper motor cover back on ?

I haven't decided yet, however the cross bar can be adjusted back some so its probably a possibility that it could fit. I have one at home so probably going to check and see if it will fit.

Just needs to be fully welded and then I think I am going to get it powder coated.

looks good... classic design & not over done (im a fan a keeping it simple). Its easy to go overboard on tubing and all of a sudden Bronco's looks like an apparatus at a grade school playground.
!!! Being original is a blueprint for followers !!!

One day it will all be Caribbean turquoise, with any luck I will get some more sheet metal from the Bronco Safari this year.
