Going to stick with 37's. We don't think with the way I drive that the stock rack will hold up to 39's. The tires in the pictures are just for show.

You are right, still a long ways to go. But a least we are making progress.

The cage is coming together and should be finished today. I was able to gain about 5 inches of head room since we eliminated the sun roof. Once the cage is mocked up, they are going to take the roof off so they can weld all the way around. Going to mount a single Sparco seat in the back because it is not as deep as the Mastercraft.

The dash was damaged from the roll. We are trying to save it because a new one is stupid expensive. Going to pull out the passenger said air bag and mount a 10 inch GPS for the codriver and them rebuild and recover the dash and surrounding areas.

Can definitely see progress happening now!! Cage looks really strong! Does the cage wrap around the bottom of the windshield over the dash pad?

Thanks. They still need to run the bars from the B pillar forward by the driver and passenger seats. The dash bar runs under the dash pad connecting both sides. Then they will plate the a pillar from the dash to the roof when they put the roof back on.
Once the roof is on they will also run the bars from above the rear window to the rear of the truck. I have no doubt it is going to be plenty strong. Just hope I never have to use this one. Haha Been a long wait without my truck.

Interior cage is pretty much done. Minus the rear seat mounting. Pretty damn impressed with the repair job and the new additions to the cage.

Wow. Varsity. I don't think anyone will ask you about what type of *****'n floor mats you have or if you took off your "F150" badge. *****.

Nice work. Congrats. Will certainly be worth the wait.

I know I'm getting old when the first thing I see is a hard time getting in & out, as my cage isn't half as nice as your's and it's a bitch. granted it looks like you could drop a 747 on top of the truck with little to no damage ( at least to the truck ) is your drivers seat fixed position or will it slide ?

 

[GBrown1867]

I have been thinking the same thing. With my bad left leg it's going to be a bitch. Going to add a grab handle to make it easier.
The seat slides so my vertically challenged wife can drive it. Haha
If you put your running boards back on it would help toys a lot.
