Default Exo skeleton roll cage

Ok guys, maybe a little different, but I'm looking for ideas on a exo roll cage for my 07 fx4.. Want to make it a truly safe vehicle and want to set it aside from the rest of the blue fords that are in my area.. Any body have ideas as far as specs go? I have experience in pipe welding, bending, and fab. Was just wondering if there is any body else out there that has done this or thought about it.


Here's what my truck looks like right now.. Thanks in advance for any suggestions/help

I was driving in really heavy rain on a road that has never been maintained very well, and then I hit a oily patch in the road and the rear end went out from underneath me and hydroplaned, did a 360 going about 40mph and hit the woods with the back passenger side taking the first of the impact.. Lucky all I had was 10 staples in my head, 2 seperated ribs and a cracked rib, gf at the time was with me and she walked away with no injury..

I wanna see this cage! Never seen anybody do this so it sounds cool. Do you do much off-roading of is this for general safety? I'm sorry to hear about your wreck man that's terrible.

Its going to be mainly for safety. Plus I want it to stand out from the rest of the trucks out there. I also have plans to hydrodip the rims in a camouflage color and line-x the cage. When I get done with the cage I'll def be putting pictures up of it.
