ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1360042373.743132.jpg. Enough room for a custom rear center console to match my tuff front. It will house my sub, power outlet, inverter, and couple cup holders

ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1360042458.582583.jpg. This is how my spare will look.

ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1360042585.070744.jpg. This will be the location for custom sound bar
ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1360042635.785371.jpg. I'm thinking maybe this could be another location for speakers?
 
Thanks. I've been wheeling for many yrs and I've seen what happens with poor cage design or lack of. This should protect passengers for may of the toughest trails but it's not done yet. Once my engine swap is done I'm looking at caging in the engine and possible incorporating the shock towers.

Yes all but the A pillar. I gave the fabricator my requirements but left the design up to him. He's probably considered one of the best fabricators in the DC metro area and has built many rigs for KOH.
 
Thats SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are you located in MD?

Did you roll your rear Trail mod flares? They look kinda rolled?
