Hi Folks,

FYI: my truck growth project has made some

Large strides. In my possession are 5 Milestar Patagonia M/T-02 tires, and beadlock wheels to fill em.

I've ordered an Offroad Design Magnum box and rebuilt NP-205. I've also been uncharacteristically therse with the folks thru which I have already bought an Eaton e-locker for my front diff. They are ~late for an undisclosed reason. Now my characteristically intense and problem management and problem resolution skills will be on display until I can affect delivery ...

I have found the ultimate cable shifter set up for the transfer case and Magnum under drive. They are apparently on vacation, other absense and evidently won't be taking orders til then.

Thought I'd share what I'm doing with the Ford and ask a question of this learned and very knowledgeable group, who can weld and install a roll cage in my truck? Someone who might charge me thru the nose - because all these truck parts (plus installation) are expensive.

Love to tech Sid'stalk and learn from smarter folks than I. Hope you weren't bored too badly...

Thanks for reading,

Are you needing the cage made from scratch or do you have a "kit"?

I don't have a lot but I can buy one that has a major loop and a couple other pieces of tubing. There is a basic one available on Amazon. If you can believe that. eBay has a more involved kit that appears to bolt together, I can get that one too, if that helps with making it more possible to help me out? Let me know if O should pick up the kit?

Thanks for the reply, are you the welder? I'm trying to get hooked up with a course at Calhoun. Do you know of another source for training, I'm not looking to get certified. It's only for myself and friends.
