Just when i was proud of myself for my build i find this! Wow i suck eggs...
This is the build quality i always envision but can never even begin to accomplish.
Well done Sir and thank you for documenting the build.

Very nice bumper. Clean looks and nice departure angle.
I've been contemplating something similar. My hesitation with tucking it in like that is leaving the gate/hinges exposed. Isn't the bumper supposed to be the first thing that hits?
What were your thoughts doing it that way?
I had the same reservations about leaving it tucked in like this. I thought about cutting the rear frame rails and extending them but that looked like a lot of work and I was feeling lazy. The hinges and tail gate have pretty simple geometry if repairs are needed.
Roll cage concepts... any thoughts, opinions or suggestions?
2" x .120" wall DOM
Planning to tie into the rock sliders, sandwiching the floor pan between mounting feet.

Finalized cage design, going with 1.75" x .120" wall DOM.
Approx. 75 feet of tube = 163 lbs

Looks great... I was going to ask why you were looking at 2" versus 1.75" tube.
I wish I could see all your other pics and follow this along. (we are new here). Are you running a canvas top? I'm curious if you could tie the bows for it into the cage or even make the cage itself support the top.
Thanks.
I was thinking 2" due to the lack of existing roof structure. Most cages in full size trucks I've seen are 1.75 x .120 but still have a steel cab over head.
TBD on the canvas bows, probably some combination of what you mentioned.
Here's a shot of the truck.
