Default cage design

started to draw out my cage plans in my photo editor.

what do you guys think? i will add roof top, front, and back views soon.

i think i have decided on 1 3/4 .120 tube.

the holes on the panels will be dimple died. there will also be a tire carrier out back, with tube bumpers. i just suck at drawing!!

cage will also be running thru the roof to an interior cage. no i dont care about the back windows...messing those up just gives the excuse to chop the top!!



colors will also prob be changing to jk green jeep with black cage.

I'm not a big fan of the plate.....nothing personal...

To me, it covers up too much of the XJ...

I don't take it personal. We all have our styles.

I see it as more protection

I always drag my rear pillar, and I love the look of dimple dies. Honestly they would prob only be 2 inch holes on 3 1/2 flat steel. Wouldn't cover too much. Its hard to do in photo editor! But I'm too cheap to buy photo chop.

i also dont like the look of the rear "vents" on a 2 door. i think they look cheesy. i wanna cover them up.

I did on Sunday. Not much of one, but it'll be good for practicing welds. And adding some sheet to my front to beef it up a bit. If anything... just for looks.
