What size tubing are most exo cages?
And how thick of wall tubing?

NorCalToy · « **Reply #44 on:** Jul 11, 2008, 11:03:29 PM »

why would you even bother to put an exo on an otherwise fully stock truck?

most use 1.75 OD by .120 wall DOM. you can get away with HREW but it will bend/dent more.

thats so you can replace the windshield and wipers with out cuting off the bar

pumkin toy · « **Reply #56 on:** Dec 28, 2008, 10:10:00 AM »

heres a couple pics of mine. i put my cowl bar down nice and tight, i can still remove wipers and windshield, but i ended up installing hood pins by the cowl and removing the stock hinges. otherwise i wouldnt be able to open the hood. now i just pop the pins out and lift the hood off!

pumkin toy · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 28, 2008, 10:13:46 AM »

as far as tips, i built mine kind of like WHITERHINO did. i bent all my pieces and tacked them in place as close to the cab as i could get it (i got it as close as possible so it didnt look $That\'s Gay$ ) then i lifted the whole cage up about a foot off the cab so i could get good welds all the way around each joint.

Thomas P · « **Reply #58 on:** Dec 28, 2008, 10:42:14 AM »

looks bad ass

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #59 on:** Dec 28, 2008, 10:52:36 AM »

That does look very nice. Good work!

I like the way the front fenders were done as well.
