EPIC. I'm in love with this machine man. You've done an awesome job on it, and I can wait to see more. I'm super jealous.

you should put a cage IN it, rather than ON it (assuming atmos means an exocage). they're cool but i feel like it would disturb the clean balance you have between a street/trail rig. just my .02

A well made exo can look really good, and with his fab skills i'm sure the looks of it wont be a problem. Love the last few seconds of the video, sliders save the day!

Now that i'm getting comfortable with it i'm definitely looking forward to running some harder trails/obstacles which means a cage is in the somewhat near future... I'm planning on doing a hybrid cage... i'd like to run the a-pillars attached to the front of the sliders coming from under the front fender thru the top along the sides of the windshield and along the pinch seams.. then going thru the roof down the inside of the b and d pillars... the top of the cage will be on the outside which will resemble a roof rack of sorts.. i definitely want to keep it looking like a "street" rig so i figure a hybrid cage will be the best option with the most protection..
