Finally got around to adding a bit of roll protection to the ranger. Its 1.75 .120 wall tube and is welded to the box which is all steel and is bolted to the frame.

I debated adding some triangulation to the main hoop, but for now just added the horizontal bar to tie it all together.

No, there will never be a cage inside the truck. If and when I feel the need for it it will be exo caged and mostly for body protection as wheeling here consists of very tight trails with lots of trees to squeeze through.

looks good, great place to mount a spare drive shaft or a high lift, but without triangulation it wont do much against a roll over
