Marlin's In-Cab Cage Kit-Vince's Truggy Thread

I'm doing this for Vince. He's not much into posting, but does have my old computer so he might chime in?

Here you go bro

Vince decided he needed some tube over his head if he was gonna keep up with me on the trails this year. So in goes the Marlin' kit and some fancy shmancy 5 points.

5-points.







My old axle housing. Vince had some issues with his pinion angle last year.

This is rotated 11 degrees.



He rotated the rear as well.



Vince goes by TrailYota here, he'll chime in something this weekend. I'll make him!

hey Mark how long did it take you to get the cage to fit and installed? I have the all-Pro cage, but havent installed it yet.
Did you put any reinforcement on the bottom of the cab or is it tied into the frame?
Looks good BTW.

It took Vince about a week to do it in the evenings. Takes alot of tweeking. The rear is tied into the body mount the front is plated under the truck also. Nothing tied to the frame.


It's pretty sweet, have to admit. Comes out pretty easily too once you get it set.

im thinking of getting that same one from marlin but do you think it will be strong enough in case of a roll over but not that extream of a roll over.

Yes, it's made from 1.5 dom tubing and made well. Will it survive a high speed rollover? I dunno. A flop..definately.

Only issue is space not alot of head room. Vince is 6-2
