Thanks off-roader for fixing the pic. No the cage I put on this year just for the little sluice. I was determined to get through it this time ven if I had to roll it. But I still didn't.
The tube doors I made few years ago. They are really simple and easy to fab up. I used hardware store gate latches to secure them with. Incidently I snapped the drivers tube door in half on this trip also when the truck slid off a rock and all the weight of the truck landed on the tube.

I learned years ago if the rig is going to slide off and hit something then just let. I keep my hand son the wheel and lean over the passenger side. The tube door took most of tghe brunt and then broke, by then my left front tire was on another rock and it came back upright.
You should see the driveshaft. It was bent about 2 inches. I didn't realize it until I got back out on pavement and the whole thing shook like crazy. I removed the driveshaft and drove it home in front wheel drive. Which by the way was very entertaining since I have a detroit locker in the front.
