I emailed Dean today, probably wont get a reply until tomorrow on pricing and availability... im just wondering if they've actually started to make these yet and have them ready to go or if i'll have to wait for it to be made then shipped..

curious on how well it'll fit and what adjustments i'll have to make... i guess no one's bought a cage kit yet ???

they've had them for sale for a while now.  I would not be amazed if they were exactly the same as the all-pro cage.  When I drive down i'll pick you one up to if you give me a little for gas. It will be better than the $150 for shipping

I would not be amazed if they were exactly the same as the all-pro cage.

AFAIK they should be nearly identical. Being that (i believe) Andy W. Designed them both.

They fit as good as the installer makes them fit. I have plenty of room with mine. I'm 6'1 and i have some honkin huge camry seats.  :gap:

I think that the only real difference between Marlin and AP is that the front cross bar is designed to be farther back to clear the visors.

Then again, they look about the same so maybe the design was just upgraded accross the board.  :dunno:

i'll probably put mine right in front of the visor so my windshield frame doesn't get as smashed in a roll.  The visors will still go all the way down i'm sure.  I think I'll do a windshield bar setup like that cage you got brad
