Here are a few pictures of the last SD cage I installed. It's a slightly different model from the one you listed as I went with the competition cage. I fit a W bar and added seat belt mounts which are great as mentioned. If you add seat risers you will have a ton of legroom beabe to recline a good but. You can buy the W bar ready to install but they are pricey. I just purchased the Wbar w/o the seatbelt mounts and added them for a fraction of the cost of the complete one. You can fit this cage w/o removing the bulkhead divider if you want but it's well worth the extra effort to remove it. Also an FYI SD cages come with ZERO install instructions and a bag of nuts and bolts:( I've installed a few of them and love the cage but everything else is lacking. BOL with the cage.

Unfortunately, I don't have pictures showing a partial bulkhead removal. I would suggest cutting it all the way out and installing the Wbar. I did a partial removal years ago and wasn't happy with the final product. You will probably also want to get seat risers. They will lift the seat over the seat box lip and create extra legroom. Several companies offer them. I just made a set using 2' x 3" structural aluminum tubing from McMaster Carr. You just need to get longer bolts. Cheers,
