no i cant find any pics of it. i just drilled some 1 3/4 holes in my roof and floor at the same place behind the seats. ran some 1 1/2 dom thru the hole in the floor then thru the roof to my exo. i then cut my tubes to length and added some 4x8x1/4'' plate to the floors where the tube mounts. welded all that crap in then fit another tube across horizontal with the top of the back of the seats. that is the tube my 4-points hook to.

i am soon adding more to the interior part of the cage to get more triangulation.....its hard to do with an exo. i dont really care about the weight of extra tubes or i would be building a buggy, not a full bodied rig!!

I'm running short arms with 4.5" coils and the LCAs are at a pretty crazy angle so I've been thinking about drop brackets.

That is a sweet looking cage. I've wanted to get a roll cage but i think im too tall, and id knock myself out on the center bar that goes above the driver and passenger seats... so an exo looks like the way to go
