That didn't take you very long at all
The front and upper bar front are 1 5/8 fit great and 1 1/2 just a little loose on all the rest. Or just grind down 1 5/8 a bit

Thanks 1 1/4" sch 40 pipe is right at 1 5/8" will double check tonight at work and will let you guys know all the sizes and there should be plenty of meat on it to turn down to fit the back I hope HaHa

Ok guys here I go first I would like to thank all you brave ones that wave already done this and posted the pics and how you done yours
and with that said here you go went with a 4" chop just getting started I had to remove the bolts where the nets attached first to get my
cut where I wanted I started in the rear first View attachment 22937 View attachment 22938 View attachment 22939 View attachment 22940it looks like it is just under 1 5/8" going to take the piece
to work and get sleeves cut for the back will post more pics as I get farther along it was a little scary till I got the grinder out HaHa
then let the sparks fly

Awesome! Can't wait to see it done!

well I got mt sleeves done last night they ended up 1.595" but they were a little snug and so down she goesI can't believe that Honda did this but I have a fix for it I think I went with 4" don't think I will go lower still thinking on that but on the 4" you do have to and to the top the silver lines was what I come up with before I done any cutting I was close off about 1/8" but that was luck HaHa but it is coming along I have to get some more sleeves machined tonight but chopping it was what it needed will post more pics as it comes along Again Thanks to all you guys help and ideas and I hope that this helps someone else that is what this forum is all about

Looks great. I was wondering if someone was going to do something like that. I also think it would be cool to see someone get rid of the doors and bed and be full rail all the way around.

 

[CumminsPusher]

Nice metal work @C0nrad looks great!

 

[C0nrad]

Thanks guys. Got to put a shoulder bar in there for belts and a couple gussets to finish cage. Then its time for roof and windshield (all of which have to be hand made too of course ). More to come soon.

That would LOOK nice.....but wouldn't be of much help to me on the farm. I'll do some brainstorming on how to possibly make a tubular dump bed.

Looks great where did you get your bungs

Got a little more done on my cage this weekend it is ready to plug weld and off again to take it to a friends to be tig welded and I come up with a fix for the area around the air box going to use the old brackets to fasten it back in the same place I had to add 1 5/16" to the top bars will post more as I get more done

That is looking awesome pct! It's coming along nicely. I'm still not a fan of the chop look but gotta give mad props to y'all's handiwork.
