    had a slight breeze when i was welding, had one of my bay doors open. the halo is welded 360, the rest wont be able to be welded 360 cause how tight everything is. i mean it could be done if i cut the top off but i'll pass on that for now. geisers prurunners arnt welded 360 in the cab either. so i think i should be pretty good.

    You Dont Wanna Cut The Roof Off But Your Cutting The Body All Up. Lol. Cutting The Roof Off Is Easier.

    cause i built the halo outside the truck and its all 360, no need to cut the roof off. all the windows are perfect and its going to paint and body anyways. besides if i cut the roof off i wouldnt be able to keep the cab nice and straight. all the inside body panels go back in and the only part of the cage you'll be able to see is the roof.

    ya in the first set of pics there looks to be a subframe along the side of the cab, instead of tying your a pillar to the frame, dont most people that have subframes ty their pillars into the subframe instead of frame. You know what i mean??

    everything looks good. how long has it taken you to do the cab cage?

    i dont think this is true.

    build looks good, but you should seriously weld every tube 360.
