Cool. Vicegrips and c-clamps mounts If you are gonna wheel I would suggest making a full set of sliders to protect the entire rocker panel and bedside.
But for your cage please use Tubing and not pipe...JMO.

ya what he said..LOL

and on your step there...you should cut halfway through the middle of it..and then make it flat..so it's an actual step

and yes..use tubing for these things...not pipe..and yes there is a difference

LMFAO Yeah I just trying things out. Trust me I am going to take the pipe off. It is 2-1/2 Galvanised. And yes when I took the pic I was not done mounting the rails. But thanks for the input. I plan to use 1-1/2 or 1-1/4 tubing like the doors are. Michael
