Chads SAS and Exo Cage 97 4runner

I know this 4runner has been on yotatech before, but he finally put another picture up on his webpage and I thought ya'll would like to see it. Really nice runner with SAS, exocage, crawler, and much more. Check er out.... http://home.comcast.net/~4x4freak/ws...--graphic.html

Maybe he will see this post and show more pictures?

Wow, I think that's the first exo cage I've seen on a 3rd gen.

I'm no expert, but it looks like that might bend if it were rolled, as the section over the main cab has only 4 mounts, and nothing running to brace it? Anyone with some engineering background?...again, i'm no expert.

Exo is on. Doesnt look thorough enough though. Maybe he is going to add more.

Looks pretty good, would be better if the picture weren't bigger than my computer screen though.

He has no bumpstops in the rear. Loks like the shocks are limiting compression. All he needs is a couple good hits or enough time placing all the weight on one side and either the shocks will fail or the hoop will fail.
