    M1009 roll cage & rock slider build

    Rearward brace mounting configuration. Original design was to top of rear wheel weels, but I may want to remove those someday. So picked up the body mounts instead. Recall this is a brace, not the main load bearing element.

I'm liking that it's a custom fit to my truck rather than a pre-fab one size fits all. Though I would certainly take that over nothing. Here is Day 1 progress. Its 1-3/4 inch by 0.120...
