Went with a Bronco Bob family cage (trimmed and tacked) and then had a local shop (Mild 2 Wild in Powder Springs) install it. Just got it back this morning.

Still need to paint it and get the grade 8 bolts for install but really psyched to have it in! What you guys think?

Looks good. You changing glove box door?
My cross bar at the top of windshield is about half inch too close to wiper motor. I still need to put a notch so it will spin.
My E-Brake had to be bent a little to the right to clear my cage. Yours looks pretty close.

Planning on leaving the glove box as is. I can get my fist closed through the opening so should be wide enough.

Hoping the windshield cover will clear the top bar haven't tried quite yet....

Sliding glove box door mod is a must. YouI will get tired fishing in there without being able to see in.

Mp is right. Evenually you'll probably want to change that. I have the Tuffy love box door with the shorter door that opens all the way without hitting the cage.

Great work, must be a low profile if the hard top fits on too ;)

Prepping for paint....

Time to prep and paint the cage. Can't wait to run the Bronco without the hard top!

Man getting that hard top off is a pain in the ........:p

Highly recommend the weld/trim option. They tack the cage in a jib and break it apart to save on shipping.

Don't forget the seat belt bungs too....

Not sure if you want the expense but I had mine line-x and it was one of the better things I have done. I have rammed it with hi-lift jacks, tools, parts and not even a scratch. It also looks great and cost about $125 with a life time warranty. I love your cage!

Looks great, would like to see how it looks with the top off too. Where is Bronco Bob located and is the price still reasonable with the shipping? Thanks Brian

How did you mount to the floor on the underside? It crosses over a floor brace. Please attach pics
