An X to tie in the final bracing for the rear of the cage making it the strongest point. Plus the tubing was recessed back a little allowing for even more room in the rear extended cab portion of the Tacoma. Very happy with the amount of room still available in the rear at this point.



And I decided to chop out the raised portion of the cab floor to make even more room! Don't lie, you've wanted to chop out that useless section as well. Cutting this hump out allowed for awesome access to the frame for welding in the roll cage. If this wasn't cut out then the fuel tank must be dropped instead. But the main reason I had to do this was to allow for a flat bottom floor thus, adding more room to the rear area. Every inch is crucial here. As long as you have the cab lifted off the frame a little it shouldn't be a problem but be most careful of the fuel lines. I nicked them with the cutoff tool while I was cutting this portion back!
