Run a search for "Hybrid" in advanced fab. You should find a thread with 2xtreme's and my Jeep in it. It has plenty of pictures to give you some ideas. It's the same basic design as the one in Matt's picture. There are several of us running it now with great results.
Nope. Not any more. I looked into years ago, he's just never bothered to update his site.

EXO Cages are legal in most states. However any major alteration to a vehicle could cause you to get sued if it were to kill, hurt, or cause an accident. Most of us geradge fabricator's could not build a EXO that could with stand a freeway accident. It would be really nasty to see DOM punched through some ones head. I think EXO's are cool for the rocks and trails but could be very dangerous on the roads. I was thinking about doing one myself but I looked back in my past dessert races and remember seeing trophy trucks that fell apart in high speed roll overs and those guys are professional in every way and fully protected. If you want to see how DOM holds up in high speed roll overs go to a few trophy truck races.

On a full-ish bodied rig they look ok, yours looks great.
On something that has every body panel there, not so much.
There are just too many ugly, poor designed ones out there.

I would have to agree with you on that point for sure... The exo's that have a 4" gap between tube & body panel do look like $hit.
I never really liked them either and when i started on my cage the plan wasnt for a full exo.... Just ended up that way.
So far im pretty happy with mine, there have been many more positive things about having it than negative so far. Its great to be able to take a line and use your side bars to slide along. Where other guys get hung on doors or their roof line. Very occasionally the extra width has caused me to have take a slightly different line than something thats narrower than me.
