I predict a Jaromy Small pic in next year's calendar. What say y'all? :cool:

I bet so. ;)

Andy did an amazing job capturing the week.

Still not sure on the gauge layout, but this is the one I like the most

That''s clean...I like it a lot. What sort of gauges are you planning on running where the speedo and tach are in one? On a sort of unrelated question, who are you sourcing your laser cut stuff from? I'm in the market for a new supplier, as the cut quality with Bridge City Steel seems to vary day to day, week to week.

Any chance you'd be willing to share the solid file of your cage design? I'm just starting mine in Solidworks, but have a few pics of your cage saved for reference, as I like how you used one continuous tube along the side to minimize snagging stuff when rubbing trees or whatever. Seems like a well thought out design that provides function without being a total Ultra4 jungle gym.

I am using Speedhut gauges. I have been using Bridge City Steel for all of my stuff and the cut quality has been great so far. I asked them to redo my dash because the bend angles weren't accurate. They worked with me on that so I was happy with them for doing that. I am very low production stuff so far so that might have something to do with it.

The cage was designed in Bend-Tech and then imported into Fusion360 so the tube coping could be done. The tube cutting service can't use the BT file from what I have been told. We are working on a quote right now for laser coping and CNC bending of the cage.

Very nice install! I bought two 9100's a month or two before they announced the Force 12 :-[ Force 12 would have covered all my needs

You have done so much awesome work on your truck, it's really amazing! Any chance you could take a measurement from the bottom of the tube by your window to the floor by the driver seat? I want to push mine as high as possible but don't have a roof for reference.
