yeah I am, with the cab all slice and diced it offers no support on even a flop. I'm going a little over board then a standard internal cage, but my boys will definitely ride with me in it so I will take the extra step

Ive got a removable door bar idea in mind as well

bolt on removeable style or quick latch style for regular use?

i hate straight across door bars, but they do work and are safe so i'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with

Lol I know I tried to find beefier ones. The rod is just over half an inch by the boot but reduces from there. emf ball sockets in medium that I’d use are 3/4 and threaded. I can then go 1 1/2 .25 wall and 3/4 hiems on the ends

My 3000lb Subaru has inner tie rods that are M12 threaded at their narrowest point.

i was ordering the ball sockets on emf website and it stated that what i was ordering is the ball socket that is used for the gm upgraded inner tie rod. I had too see if that was true. napa here just loves me returning opened stuff all the time lol

I really like that everything is rebuildable
