Wish i had a plasma still as i would attempt a cab for my montana. I really would like one for this winter, maybe ill have to get some one to cut up some metal for me so i can fab one up.

I think if you left the original ROPS in place you could make a cab using wood. 2x2 for frame, 1/2 in pressure treated plywood as cover material, install windows, paint and stain your done.

Incredible job! Looks like you have good visibility out of it and it looks factory. I'll be really jealous when I'm outside blowing snow and its 20 below with a stiff wind! someday, someday maybe I'll get around to making one. Hopefully it turns out half as nice as yours.

Wow, that looks like a home run! :thumbsup:

How 'removable' is it? Unless the intent was to never remove it...
