I say it's your truck and you should do whatever makes you proud. I understand your idea of the truck being somewhat of a "Saferoom" (Safetruck) that you could deppend on to protect you. Take your time to consider the safety precations but other then that go crazy with making your vehicle as unique as you want it!
p.s. I'd like to have the fully caged windows if zombies were attaking

as far as that thing being ugly as ugly can get, protection is the last thing those wieghty windcatchers provide. are we trying to protect the truck or the occupants? bars usually keep people IN, not out.

exo equals truck AND passenger protection.
is that even a real winch?
you can make an exo look real nice!!!!!
a few cage/exo threads to examine.

about 22 hrs for me with 2 helpers, but about a year prior I had built fender guards and the stinger.

this is what I had to work with before I started the exo
