So my truck is used offroad & soon to be going with a Solid Axle Swap & some 37" tires. Im thinking about something like this. Im cool for doing a full cage but just been thinking maybe Exo-cage is my route. Here's a thought of what im thinking. Its a rough sketch but you can get a idea.
It includes an overhead shooting platform, halfdoors & tie-ins with the sliders on the bottom.

Exo would be easier to do and you wouldnt be cutting up a brand new truck interior

My only thing is how to make the side bars accessible with my rear crewcab doors. Like opening you know because they come out abit and i certainly dont want a passenger getting stupid and causing unneeded work. If you catch my drift. I have everything else mapped out very vividly in my mind just need someone who is good with photoshop to do the rest.

I plan on having it tie in to the frame front & rear but having no bars protrude through my cab.. I already plan on Bobbing the bed 3-5 inches to make it rear flush with the frame. That and some major fender trimming front & rear.

You could some how make the rear cage attached to the doors so it will swing out with the door, and make like a pin or a bolt to attach it to the rest of the cage for strength??
