We will be adding alot more tie ins once we get the rest of our components that we need to build around in place. Alot of our case design in a basic form stems from the fact that we are running a windshield and needed to tie into the OEM mounts. What you are seeing above are the basics and there is alot more to come.

Nice looking cage but something about the front doesn't seem right. I think the A pilar bar should have dropped down through the dash and it should have been bent out of one piece and not welded to the bottom of the main hoop. I think you lose some strength here and definately lose some vison out of the side windows. It also appears that the A pilar bar doesn't have much virticle support the way it is bent. Check with the boys over on Pirate....they know there cages over there and can give you great advise on it.
IMO I agree with him.. you guys need to take it through the dash...the front doesn't flow well at all. I'm also running a windshield and you don't need those top OEM mounts, the "L" brackets on the bottom of the windshield are plenty strong. Not to mention there is more strength being that it is one piece...here's what we started with

We will certainly take a look at it! Since we are keeping our windshield for racing applications it is a little different for sure!
x No Compromise Offroad x - We are following your build closely. That is a pretty cool build as well. Is that thing done yet?

We got some goodies in today!
Matt from West Texas Offroad sent us his Redneck Ram Hydro Assist Kit as well as ported our steering box and improved the pump!
We also got our custom front seats from Twisted Stitch. They look great!
Advanced Adapters said our Atlas 4 Speed was shipping out today! That is the last major piece to the puzzle and then this thing will start fliing together.
"The Victim" will really start coming together in the next few weeks!
