Is that bolting in to the rear seat front mounting holes?
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

got the cage in today and done a bit of routine maintenance,looks like i need new rear shoe's this time :twisted: also put a wheel up in the back to see where is best to put a spare and i think putting it on the floor in the back is the best option but only if i stay with 35's :roll:

It'd look the coolest if you had it in the slanted position across the back, maybe higher up so you could keep the tailgate, but that's also the least practical. I think upright against the back of the cab, or upright front-to-back against the cage will be the best.
