| Cool thanks Kyle, I also purchased a complete RZR4 cage for $20.00 and was thinking about using the connector pieces that bolt there cages together and welding them to my main cage and the extension so I only have to remove the 4 allen head bolts up top and the 2 bolts at the bumper to remove it. It seems to be a pretty sturdy cage and I also just found a rear seat with mount for $150.00 that I'm going to try and get this week. | |

| I think its very sturdy. my extension came in 7 pieces 2 bars that bolt to factory cage than the 2 90s an bumper an brackets I just remove the allen bolts the connect the the 90s to the 2 bars that go to the factory cage an remove the bumper an the bed will dump only takes a couple mins to take off. the seat I used in my rhino is out of a ford expedition its the 3rd row jump seat an it fits perfect an its removable all I have to do is pull 2 pins an it out. | |

| My current cage is a complete custom built cage and is all welded together so I don't have the option of un-bolting the top bar to install the extension, the rear of my cage comes down into the rear of my bed and has the tire mount so I have to cut up the extension and do a little fab work. I really hate having to hack up my cage but I do want to 4 seat it, I would like to see how you did your expedition seat, I never picked up the other seat yet | |

| Sweet, so those are the actual mounts that were on the seat? Can you fit an adult back there with that seat? I just hacked off the rear section of my cage today and now waiting for my fab guy to build me a new bracket for the bumper, it only came with 1. Thanks for taking a pic for me. | |

| I would like to see it too lol it was very hard to cut off that rear section, I really liked my cage. My mounting bracket won't be done until next week so hopefully I will have the rest all prepped and ready to install it when it's done. | |

| OK so I found this cool seat it's a 2nd row seat from a 2005 Dodge Caravan and is 41.5" wide the back rests drop down into child seats with harnesses so I can take adults or the Grandkids. Will post pics of the install when I start it. | |

| Well it didn't leave much foot space but so far it's turned out pretty good. Got it installed and had to lose the base and do my own because it sat too high for my liking. Will post pics soon I'm taking pics as I go and hopefully by Wednesday it will be done. I jacked up the Rhino to adjust the shocks and with the wheels off the ground I noticed my wheel bearings are starting to wear out so now I have bearings to change. At least I noticed before I had a full load of people in it. Still waiting on one mounting bracket before I can even start on the cage and I just found out we are going to Moab for the weekend with the SXS's going to be a busy week to get this done by then lol | |
