I got mine delivered today. Curious if anybody has some good pics of it installed and if anybody who has one could maybe measure the gap between the bars and hard top?

I replaced 80% of my floor, and my floor currently sits 1/8" higher then it would of from the factory. Worried that 1/8" will cause some clearance issues as I got the cage with the feet welded on.

FWIW I did search and came up with old threads talking about the cage but no pics or statements relating directly to my question.

Here's some pics of one I welded up for a bud out here. He's putting on a soft top though, ditched the rusty hardtop. Hope they help you out. I don't think and extra 1/8" is gonna matter...

I got some info from Bronco Bob (very quick and nice). Once I get my other drivablity problems fixed up this is the next thing I am ordering. I hope some side shot photos pop up.

Fungus you can weld.

so these are good cages then? cause what an awesome deal for an un welded cage already notched and everything. I dovetailed my bronc and was still gonna order one of these and just modify it because it is still so cheap compared to a custom cage

Well two options on choices....Mine is the fitted option which was $100 more. Basically it came to my door (from oregon to michigan) for about $660. But for $560 you can get the unfitted option which means there's a little fitting and grinding to put it in, but still comes bent and notched etc..

The glove box opens about half way, just enough to get stuff in and out, and the parking break you can get to just fine...

as said the glove box opens half. I was able to unbolt my e-brake from the dash and move it over an inch or two and rebolt it there. works great.

Then burned it in, drilled all the mounting holes, then removed it, and now painting it.

The bronco was to tall and my roof was to low, I couldn't pull the cage up and over the wheel wells. I had to deflate all 4 tires to clear the ceiling lol.

I had no fitment issues, I didn't have to trim or grind anything yet.....I haven't put the doors or top on. And I can almost open the glove box door completely, more then enough to stick both hands in it with comfort.
