ok i got a little more done on the roll cage last night. as much as i could until we ran outta tube. By the way... dose anybody have some that i can buy? I need 1.75 .120 Wall. Let me know thanks. Here are the pics
Here is what we have left to do:
-Finish the steering as in just the shaft to the wheel.
- Finish plumbing rear breaks
- Mount seats and belts
- Finish cage with some braces
- make two peice front drive line
- put all the wiring in looms now that the wiring is done
We have got to have all this done by the first week of Ocotober. We are goning to Moab. So if any of you want to plan on going down with us just let me know.
this is the jeep at ride highth next to my dad that is 5'10 so its an inch or two higher then i planed but still pretty low for a full body jeep. on 42's
Finally was able to see your build pics. Impressive!! Here's a thought...I've wheeled with you a few times and I know your affiniety for deep water. Your new ride isn't high enough. Better add another 12" to those tires and 6 more inches to the body lift....unless you have designed and amphibious ride here. I think it's appropriate that you have "BOAT" rockers.
How well does that engine-hoist cylinder work for bending? I thought they needed to be more or less upright to work properly, but here you are using one. Work OK?
couple shats of it out of the garage sits a little low in the rrar all because thr rear coils are not it yet so the will be on tonight allong with the rest of the cage i will update you later on that... i have a few pics of the joints on part of the cage there pretty cool looking
i also got a couple of the sterring mount and the shaft the way i ran it i took the shaft and cut grove in it then slid it through the sleeve and drilled a hole tap it and put a grease insert in it
i got alot of the cage done and the seats mounted ,the guys at teraflex helped us out we went and bought some seats and wheel spacers from them thaks agin.... ill post up those pice latter
i got a little further on the cage. put in the windsheild tubes and a couple door bars. i also got a tube behind the seat to mount the seatbelts to. We also installed a few rock lights here are some pics for you guys.
