|  Exo cage
Ok, I've been playing around and decided to make an exo cage for the F100 body I have laying around. I've only got one side done but I feel pretty good about it considering its the first thing I have ever truly fabbed. Let me know what you al think so far. I still have to finish the back of the bed, but the front is pretty much the way I want it.   |

I'm pretty stoaked at how it comes together. Looking at it now I realize the top is a bit higher in the fron than in the back.

OK, here is an update. The sides are done, just need to add bumpers. What do you all think? This is the FIRST fab work I have ever done, its not perfect or cleaned yet.       |

Looks a little twisted and a couple bends aren't perfect, but for your first fab work, pretty damn good.

Thats just it, I'm not sure what I want. I cant get a design that looks good with the personality of the truck itself.

You can go with a pusher bumper like this, it is really easy to make work with an exo...  If you need better/closer pics of the bumper, PM me  |

That may work! Too bad my fab work doesnt hold a candle to that. Is it from solid bar stock?

Yeah, I've read the build up on that rig. You do amazing work, I think I'll even add some type of grille guard too. I'm probably gonna start another one soon based on a Midknight pumpkin style body, and this time Ill use sophisticated tools... like measuring tape, pipe bender, and tape. That way it will actually be square
