Looks great! You were probably overdue for a cage. Door bars look similar to that Nissan work I did, but I guess they will all look pretty similar no matter what. Its a lot easier to fit that style in than an A-pillar. Those first pics are the frame mounts are they? Harness bar look to be in the right spot. Even a B-pillar X. Should work good in the event of a roll....or falling out of a tree.  |

Sweet bro!! I'm gettin ready to do mine soon. I was inbetween an exo or interior cage for a while and I'm back on the interior train latley.
Howd ya get the bend so tight together on your floor to main bar? Move the rollers all the way in?

i tried to keep the rollers out so to not dent the pipe as much kinda touch and go with it to make that bend i put one roler in the centre of the first bend that helped to keep it such a tight bend
