not sure? actually wasn't going to get a cage origanally, but got slow on funds for the big stuff, and had some tube laying around and just decided to do it. there will be alot more trangleation in the rear till and some dimple died plate too. just tring to pick up as many pionts as possible, and wil tie int the frame sliders on the front and sides after i build the rear crossmember for the rear link? still undecided on that part. this is a " no rush" build so i ave time to mess around with my ideas.

As for the front link..its stil getting done..just waiting to do the new front axle so i can push the axle out a tad. then big brakes, high steer ect...

 

lol...damn! whats a guy gotta build to atleast get a one star thread rating?!

 

got the inside finished. what you think?

got some more comming my way from a side job,building a electric sliding driveway gate, so i can stop screwing around with the exo, and get back to building the new suspension.

 

Awesome build. Just voted 5 stars.

 

well....my pile gets put on hold for a little bit..at least for the big stuff thats left.THANK YOU MR. TAX MAN! for lightening my pockets 10g's..granted that was for other fun stuff besides the jeep...but i had planned on something cool.

so..quess its of to small stuff in the mean time, cooling system upgrade...and maybe a complete suspesion redesign, origanally radius arms and springs..but maybe 3 link and a 4 link out back are in order?

 

Any chance you can do a custom crossmember as a side job?

I just want something thats flat & protective.

 

pm sent your way.

 

Awaiting response eagerly

 

i had origanally built a drop crosmember for this thing...but ever siince..it been bothering me..i just didnt like the look. So, i had some time(no money of course) but i had some more tube laying around and decided to redo the ends where they meet the frame. i was able to tuck it up there a ways without cutting any thing, and while it was out i put on the link tabs for the new arms, i did keep the original drop center section though.




link tabs

 

Just had the chance to read through your whole thread. Really cool build - great fab work. Impressive!

 

lookin good I'm subscibed

 

Love the cage work and what i really appreciate is the fact that you have minimal bends here. 95% are straight pipes. What DID you use for a bender anyway?

 

INHO too many bends in a cage makes it weak...without proper gussets .

should i make a build thread for the bender????
still needs paint..lol..but im lazy

 

finally got a little bit of time to work on the jeep, life has been crazy lately..anyhow, got the old hp30 disco axle out of the way. Now i can tart plating the frame from the front to the stiffeners. I will be cutting all my own plate here at the house...thank you plasma!

 

Also started plating the new to me non disco HP30.getting it ready for the half truss.
