Thanks Aaron

No I haven't posted any pic of it completed, I should have some pics next weekend.

I do like my roll bar better, but concidering mine was 2 grand, and JLP's is $300, thats one hell of a deal.

Johnny looks like you have a great kit for those who don't, or can't spend big bucks.

The problem here in New Mexico is that I don't want so JackA$$ using my New Truck to experiment on hoy they should build a roll cage.

I think JLP's kits is affordable and I can have the additions made that won't screw up the truck.

I look forward to seeing your seats in your truck DOn. I saw the post with them in your house they are truly sweet. I had a special set of Corbeau's made in the same color are the original SVT seats so they should turn out sweet.

My thoughts exactly........where's Billy Bob and his easy shade!

Kind of corny....but hey at least its not My Truck LOL!

The back vent might not be a bad idea if you don't have a good solution for the bar going through the back window. That's the solution I'm working on now. I need mine to be 100% water tight and with the movement of the bars in these trucks it seems virtually impossible. Anyone with a good solution? What did they do with yours Don?

To help with the water , why couldn't you guys use some kind of boot (like a shifter boot) that glues or bolts to the window and goes around the bar.

Just a suggestion.

My 99 DOHC Sonic Blue SVT has the front frame braced and the rear frame is boxed. This eliminated the body flex from leaving the line. A bit stiff but very sweet!

I also had the Lexan enlarged to twice the size of the roll bar tubing and used some mesh I found at a local oilfield shop to take up the gap. I does not leak and looks great.

This cage is a 10 point cage and I was looking for something very simple for my 2002. After all the mods on the other truck I looking for an easy solution thats safe if I put the truck on its top!
