looks good man, do you plan to tie into the tube work on the bottom to create a exo cage that covers the top?

No im going to do an interior cage. Ive seen exo cages cause more body damage than an actual rollover. Also, the way my tube work is set up now, it wouldnt be strong enough to support an exo cage in the event of a rollover. It would be stronger/safer to put it on the inside and just run the tube through the floor and weld it to the "frame". And yes, yes i AM going to reinforce the uni with some 14ga steel.

Nice!!

Do you have any steering issues with that crossover setup? Its a Rugged Ridge right? Ive put RR on mine and it wanders /jerks around a bit. I was wondering if the steering brace would help at all. Does the right TRE rub the tire on hard left turns????


Again nice rig!!
