Thanks for the idea and the pics. This will be one of my summer projects.
ETA: Looking at it I would flip the strut over so the mounts can slide around and locked in place. Im already seeing places for mounting a small fire extinguisher, CB speaker, GPS mount, maybe even a cell phone dock. thanks again for the ideas.

I like the custom overhead setup detailed in the previous pics as well!! Seems like a cheap way to get it done.
I have a similar suggestion. I recently installed a Rock Hard sport cage, and found a suggestion to use a KC Highlights light mount for a light to mount the CB to the center of the upper cross bar. I think you could call Rock Hard and just purchase the single upper crossbar, mount it to your stock cage (which it does anyway and is supper easy),, then use the KC clamp to mount your CB to the front crossbar. Although I like what was posted earlier,, I think this would look much cleaner and add to the rigidity of the stock cage. Although it will definitely be more expensive. You might be able to get Rock Hard to sell you that upper cross bar for $100. As far as I know, this has never been done before, which doubles its cool factor!!!!

nuts and washers...
Hey Reepo
I wrote down your list of parts, and went to home depot. Problem I have is the superstrut 3-hole and 4-hole brackets. I understand the use of the 5/16" x 1-1/2" washer on top, but how did you keep the small 1/4" nut in the channel of the superstrut?
Thanks - Mike
