Yeah, I did both, The plates are stitch welded and then a stock replacement bolt runs through the plate, floor and then the stock mount on the frame.

It runs about $5 to $7 bucks a foot. I used about 60 feet on my cage. Also if you can't find Chromoly at your local steel supply try aircraft supply stores or shops around airports. There's a place in Corona, Ca. called Aircraft Spruce ( www.aircraftspruce.com ) that will ship it and you don't have to get 20' piece's, they will sell and cut it at any size as long as it's over 2'.

Can you show a pick of that? Do you mean the body mounts?

now all you need is a cagle of gauges!!!

your cage looks sick man, I like the cast iron grey type finish

I have fought the urge to put one in my 97...but after seeing yours.. I may have to do it down the road...must have really stiffened it up, make it ride a little nicer, better road and trail feel

here are some gauge ideas for you HAHA!
