Currently waiting on parts. As far as I want to pull everything till the frame section shows up. Pulled everything with the old cage so didn’t twist the new one.
New front section of the cage now easily bolts in at three corners and is very close on left front. Cross measurements all show on the money and dash holes all line up for the first time. Rear cage section was down and forward a bit, not surprising, but now looks good. Steering wheel is straight and centered on driver seat. Suspension all sits uniform to the frame rack and cross sections under frame all match.
As far as I can go till the Brown truck show up.

What did you ever figure out about the shock that was leaning?

“Little bit” of persuasion.

I have no f***ing idea to be completely honest. After I got rear suspension in and dropped it she was half as far off as previous. I forgot about it when I went for a quick rip last night and I didn’t look again till it came on the frame rack, it looked identical to passenger side. It was way off before but no live valve idiot light or anything ever, good now, idk.

I'd be interested to see what the computer is reading on that corner vs the other 3.

 

[Ridinfool]

That’s bad ass, you’ll be ripping in that rig next week… awesome job

Agreed. See what she does in the trails.

Front ROPS is now Live Valve Blue. There went another 20 min of something to do running out of crap. Come on parts!

 

[CumminsPusher]

Something showed up. Thank you so much @HondaTech! Now the important s*** is underway.

 

[HondaTech]

Is it enough to cover what you need?
I had to trim a bit more off the ends to get it to fit in the box.

Hoping the fender made the trip unscathed.

Yes it’s more then needed. Damn nice job marking it from measuring spots. And yes that’s the nicest fender I have by far! You’re a damn good guy, I owe you one.

Those measurements aren't NASA rated, so I'd check everything out before cutting anything.

I was trying to include standoffs for plastics and such to make it easier visually to see where it fits.

Freshly painted cage on and finished pulling front end around. Trimming the bad crap out da way.
