Nice tube work, man! If you use steel tube or solid rod for the rock sliders and braze them together they are pretty strong to hold up against some tough rocks.  |

yeah what happened to the full cage that thing looked good, try some solid rod on your rock sliders, and also any points that you may get alot of stress on.
