Will you stop with the project ideas! You have to finish the flatbed project first. One thing at a time... Now hurry up and get your truck bed off and get to bending and welding. LOL!!!
I am not sure if he still has the truck it was for sale for a while. I dont know much about the truck aside from the front is a J-Arm setup and he built most of it himself. His email is Never2fast1 AT aol DOT com.

I was considering another idea of a custom bed. Have a 3" DOM tubing as the main bar welded to the sliders. Have it go up along the side and flush with the cab and over. From there on each side, have a 1.5" DOM tubing welded from the main bar along the bed rail and then down along the tailights and welded to the rear bumper. Have another 1.5" DOM tubing welded to the main bar underneath the bed rail tubing going straight back and rounded down at the wheel well and welded to the wrap around part of the rear bumper. Last, have all the sheet metal cut-out and bolt some diamond plate on . Did you understand any of that, cuz' I didn't. LOL!!! I'll edit one of my pictures to get a better visual.
I was under the impression that Luigi (Supertundruck) had gotten his interior caged... but I haven't seen any pics. If I remember correctly, his plan was to continue this into the cab. Might wanna shoot an e-mail or PM over to him...

Jordan, Please tell me that internal cage was not completed when you took a picture!!!!! There are no supports for a roll over. That thing would just hurt you more then help you. If you watch a truck when it rolls a majority of the time it lands on the top windshield corner. He needs a STRAIGHT bar for strength across the top at the bend. Also some X or V in the cage from the front bar to the rear to pass some of the hit off onto those bars. Some windshield bars would be good to but can get you a ticket. There needs to be more bracing for that to not just come apart in a roll over and knock the crap out of you. Here is a link to a nice cage http://www.donahoeracing.com/project...ect_photoID=79
There are some strategies to doing a cage. You could just slap on in but then you would be just wasting $ and could endanger yourself even more.
Sorry, I kind of take offroading serious and do not want others to get hurt because of bad designs.

Never did one of those before. That would Take ALOT of tubing and design time since I have not even attempted it before. We have done many cages, bumpers, sliders, leaf spring installs, steering, seat installs, and I made a few pretty little light bars for my pavement pounder tow trucks. We have made a few sets of A-Arms to.
There is a T100 running around here with one on it.
