Your build inspires me! That thing is going to be awesome! And nice work love your fab work.

Is the cab still mounted to the frame with the factory rubber mounts? Asking because isn't there going to be movement of the cab, but rigid where you welded the bars on? Asking because I'm not sure how that works or whatever, lack of now how on my end anyway.

Soooo yes the factory rubber body mounts do still exist. But.. the cab is welded to the cage on the interior, the rear bulkhead, the floor, and the front engine cage. And the cage is tied into the remaining frame the body mounts attach to. So at this point I think the cage is holding the cab vs the body mounts. But I still try to account for some minor movement. Hence the silicon bronze and thin gauge plate.

Got the battery box floor completely welded and got the billet optima battery mounts in. Wow they are gorgeous

Both types are nice, I've always liked the single bars myself.

Depends on skid plate layout/taper.

either one will go from the front bar to the bar down by the lca mount crossbar. the bumper with two bars would have a slightly less pitch of the skid.
