This is my exo cage inspiration thread. I can live with a tube wrapped truck. I couldn't live with one like that.

Thanks Ron . . . Nope , I don't like prunes . I am going to restore it back to what it was

Yeah, I knew you couldn't do that. Should be easy to find a new cab since it is a og 2wd.

BUDDERS · March 31, 2012, 09:41:00 PM

Hey Infernal, is there enough wheelbase on that frame to fit a Double Cab on there? You know, your boys aren't going to get any smaller...........

yotatough · March 31, 2012, 10:03:04 PM

What cage are you running? And how did it hold up? Glad all are good!!

Rocksurfer · March 31, 2012, 10:19:09 PM

Looks a little short for a double cab but an extracab.....

That was one of my thoughts at first but I would have to definitely stretch the frame and don't want to do that . I love the idea of my boys being enclosed .

Modified All-Pro cage . Actually held up real good .

83 Crawler · April 02, 2012, 12:34:12 AM

Yeah , but I haven't seen very many cheap Doubble Cabs . That's the only problem

. But that would be awesome ! ! !

83 Crawler · April 02, 2012, 11:54:40 AM

very true, they are pretty spendy, have you try ed auto auctions?

THK Matt · April 03, 2012, 10:36:06 AM

look for a slightly wrecked 2wd double cab? cheaper maybe?

Cheapest one I found was in SLC , Utah . Light front end damage but really clean otherwise , $5,800 and someone had left a deposit on it .

iNfErNaL · April 12, 2012, 12:53:25 AM

So at this point it looks like I may just be building it back exactly the way it was

Dingman. · April 12, 2012, 02:16:23 AM

Wow sorry to see that man.

One of my favorite trucks for sure! If anything i know it will turn out just as awesome when its done!
Glad everyone is alright!

iNfErNaL · April 12, 2012, 10:58:37 AM

Threres a guy on Fresno craigslist with a 2wd 3.4 single cab with some front end damage. He says he'll take $350 for the cab with interior. Sounds like the cab is all he has left. Here's his number. 559-284-2031.

I'd post a link but I'm on my phone.

iNfErNaL · April 12, 2012, 02:50:13 PM

Good lookin' out , thank you ! ! ! $Beer Chug\'n$ . I will definitely check it out . I appreciate that .

86rustbucket · April 12, 2012, 03:01:55 PM

No problem man, he sounds like a grouchy old man and wasn't too clear on how bad the damage was. But I hope it works out for ya.
