I suspect they're a bit wary after a nearby teams lucky escape.

So you think it's also acting as a roll cage?

I looked at the interior photo and couldn't see any bracing, so wondered if a 4 point cage over such a length would add much?

It is a thing of beauty though.

I would think it's more about support for the rack rather than adding roll-over protection - it's enormous.

So what's going up there that couldn't be handled by the OEM rack?

That does look smart

The new one should be far stronger if it did roll over so maybe doesn't need the additional cage to act as a roll cage like the old one.

Nice looking truck
