Tires are 35's, exterior and interior is Rhino Lined. I cannot remember what fender flares they are, as I recall they got ordered out of England, and were a PIA to get lined up/fitted (Rob did this, not myself), I am overseas constantly.

As to the cage, live in NM, and some of the rocky/loose and or sandy terrain is pretty ridiculous. Wanted the cage for some protection in case of a rollover, and some corner/panel coverage. If I had to do it again, I would not have integrated the cargo rack on top (never used it), and the tubing would have been thinner, added a lot of weight, and makes is scary on highway corners, etc.

Default Cage

I wish I could give you the spec's. Over in the sandbox right now, so can't measure it. The fellow that did the cage is now out of business. It was done several years ago, and I don't think I have the original spec's. All I can tell you is that it added approx. 300lbs to the truck.

I personally like exocages but the tubing on this looks HUGE! And I'm no cage expert but it doesn't look like it would handle a roll over very well only being tied into the bumper.

its sick, does look like it weighs a ton though…I've always like the exoskeleton look…i would love to do that with my rover…but i don't go into places where it would be useful even though Idaho is full of mtns…just couldn't bring myself to put her in harms way…

Default Yep, bed liner

It's Line X'd inside and out. The paint was getting destroyed by the pinon tree's everytime I went out, so I decided to do the right thing by my Zombie pacifier.


Chevy Gen IV engine swap coming up next!
