Well, The machine shop covered all machining and bored the block another 0.010 over. but since there was no "sign or proof" of the fault being theres they made me buy the pistons lol. So I'll have a newly rebuilt stroker in a few days. I don't want to put it in. So i have an extra motor lol

I tripped over some tube today and made this... it still have some issues things to add/change.



For being my first experience, bending, designing, and creating a cage from scratch with no help from people who have, its not bad IMO. The roof halo sits higher then planned but I think its alright over all.

 

assuming this is the start of your exo.. i love exo's theyre sexy!

 

Its a Hybrid cage. A pillar and roof halo are outside, B,C,D pillars are inside with some cross bracing all tied into the braced uni-body rails.

 

looks like a good start to a hybrid.

 

Thanks, its getting there. Hopefully I can pull it off tomorrow night lol. I head to Sand Hollow Thursday morning to beat the **** out of it!

Some more pics of the proses...

 

 

Looking good man, ill be referring to this when I build my hybrid cage. I've been fallowing ur thread since almost the beginning and it's a well built Jeep my man. Good job.

 

Sick

 

Nice work rilla. You running 37s yet?

 

Anytime you want to bring the bender out I won't stop you !!!

 

Thanks man, its come a long way.

Yah buddy! get your tube done! we still need to go wheeling man!

Thanks! not yet. thats on hold for a little, I need to open up my rear wheel wells and stretch the rear another 3/4-1" and then I'll throw some on.

haha, If it where mine I would let you use it!

 

Well, time is up! packed up and ready to go! leave in 18 hours... this is where it is at as of this morning I still need some more cross bracing inside and a lower windshield spreader... But I'll get to that later.







I'll get some interior pics of it tonight and how I mounted my spare inside while still being able to use the back seat.

 

Does your state require mud flaps?

 

42 pages of ****ING WIN. Hour and a half WELL SPENT!

 

Yes sadley... they take its masculinity away haha

Thanks man! Its finally feeling complete to me

here are some interior pics, I got the harness bars in but need actual cross bracing... always somthing lol anyway, thats a 36" spare and sitting in teh back seat I can't feel it... I like how its not sitting on the bumper or roof. (ratchet strap is temporary, I'll fab a mount that comes off the harness bar to bolt it down, and be removable with a cage clamp.
