Thumbs up FJ-40 cage work

A cage I'm building for a pal's FJ-40 project.
Integrated winch plate, rear shock mounts and fulley removable.
Not finished, will be adding more tubework and stinger.

If thats brake line tubing, take care not to breathe the white wispy stuff that floats in the air when you weld it! It is BAD stuff!

Where did you pick up the poly armor? I always seem to find the galvanized.

The Poly Armor I picked up at Schucks'. Which by the looks of the store, is changing to an O'Rileys???
I actually prefer the gav, as it's easier for painting.
