What's more exciting then the big brown truck dropping off boxes? The trailer dropping of your newly bedlined and fully caged Bronco. ;D

Just a teaser pic for now since it was getting dark last night. I still have to weld in a rock rail, install doors, tailgate, fender flares, head lights, tail lights, bumpers, spare tire carrier, CB radio, wiper motor, shifters, mirrors, fix a power steering leak and do a tune up.....all before the Stampede this weekend. :p

That wouldn't have seemed like such a big list before I had kids. :cool:

NICE cage-your design???, I also like the deck over trailer. I have a deck over for my full width rig with 42s, another buddy has 44s on his and we are constantly trying to find a trailer for his rig-usually I tow his and we cram mine on another trailer which it hangs off of a bit :)

Looks good Jon....I like the cage too. Who'd you end up going with for it? Seems like the last week has been good for getting work done: I finally got the Crab cage installed last weekend (only sat in my shop for 6 weeks after I got it from you). Now I get to fit it out & decide just how much I want to do to it, then it's back out for powdercoating.

I'm hoping to be back in town & head up to the Stampede Saturday afternoon. Hope I can make it & check everything out!

Looking good, Jon. I watched them work on installing your seats last week when I was down at Randy's. I didn't even recognize your truck at first w/o any blue paint on it :). See ya this weekend!

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I wish I could take credit for the cage, but it wasn't done by me. It's a company here in Phoenix called Bent Fabrication that's partnered up with Driven Auto. Paul down there really did a great job listening to what I wanted, making suggestions along the way and then executing a very nice cage; fully tig welded, front & rear seats tied into the cage, everything really tight to the dash & floor just the way I wanted it.

I'll take more pics soon, but at the moment I'm falling behind schedule. The only task I got crossed off my list tonight was welding in the rock rail.:-[ Lots left to do.

Get some pics this weekend at the Stampede, it's looking great but we need some action shots to fully appreciate ;D

And talking about kids and cages, a well built one also makes an excellent portable jungle gym ;)
