:lol:

Just found this while surfing Pirate and thought some of you might like it. I'd say the owner of whatever steel supplier he got his tube from managed to send all his kids to private school, which is great, but damn it must weight a bit. I've always liked the king cab shape and wouldn't mind taking a grinder to one one day.
Here's the add -
Reno, NV 530-386-3603 $6000
1996 Nissan Hard body -- four cylinder with approximately 68,000 highway miles, Approximately 20 miles on trails -- power windows and locks -- sunroof -- CD player, nice speakers -- AC, heat, defrost work great -- Rhino lined interior -- Front end Adjustable 6-14 inches of lift with air bags -- Dual transfer cases, Dana 20 case sitting on custom built cross member behind stock transfer case (super low crawl ratio) -- 38 inch super swampers with room for 40-42 inch tires -- Warn front hubs -- Warn winch bolt pattern on custom front bumper -- Custom Exo cage -- Rear axle is Ford 9 inch (5:89) gears, spooled locker -- Front axle is Dana 44 (5:89) gears, Detroit Easy Locker -- custom made drive shafts from drive line services -- long travel Rancho RS 5000 shocks -- Custom high lift mount and jack under bed -- Over $25,000 invested into custom work, not including stock truck -- $6,000

Since we're all a little starved of pics at the moment, post up any rigs you've seen that are out of the ordinary but still cool.
Cheers, Jeremy :)

Just a few more bar's and he might as well remove the body.....

could cut half the weight down by just removing the tub on the back and all the pipe could make a tray and with the pipe left over protect the doors or bonnet but id say he was just board

It can only get thru the half layer of gravity :lol:

I rekon if it rolled the bars would just bend onto the body, as someone else pointed out it has no cross bracing, nothing stopping the bars up the pillars bending into the cab.

it looks like a good job but he obviously has no idea how much stress that cage is going to get in a rollover, even a gentle one.
