Use a good relay for each circuit, and it shouldn't have to deal with too much voltage.

that truck is awesome.

You said you had trail gear springs, so I'm assuming there toyotas, but what lift?
are they the HD springs?

I was looking at tg springs also

so you went full hydro with a single ended ram?
hows the steering response, Is it slower than a double ended ram?

technically its slower/weaker steering to the driver side. Not noticable though... it will still push the truck off of anything single handed on the wheel.

the plan will eventually be to take doors off and have a tube coming from the rear of the cage, through the doorjam and down into the lower spreader, then chop the rocker out and boatside it.

He's gotta go higher. If it just went to the rockers, they'd be considered sliders haha.

Weld cracked from the twisting force somehow. I welded it with like 3 passes and plug welded it the next time and I've got 3 runs on it without any issues.:icon_thumby:

the D-shaft was originally on this jeep and never broke... so thats why it was really weird that my truck broke it.

Nope, never wish I exo caged it. Too bulky, loss of clearances, I dont like the look of exo cages.

once the Door bar is in, Im going to chop the entire rocker from the front door jam, back. and some of the rear door pilar. the boatside will go from my flatbelly skid/frame rail, up, into my lower cage spreader.

All are valid reasons.

I'm still up in the air about it. I ordered a bender, so I may get around to caging this thing this summer. If I do an interior cage, I'd like to go through my dash if possible. Single cab rangers are pretty small. Decisions decisions.
