Holy Hell man, you planning on dropping that thing out of a plane? That is a beast cage. Is it still street legal with the cage going right up the middle of the window? Time to test it out. ha ha

Colorado doesn't have too many restrictions but I don't know for sure. Gonna have to find out. Just built this thing to survive rolls and keep going, it's my daily driver after all. Yes, I NEEEEEED to get her out on the trail. Hopefully the belly pan goes on tonight and she goes wheeling friday!!!

my last exoed xj had a windshield spreader bar and i never had a prob with the law. drove it like that for 2 years. im sure if you painted it slime green or something that would distract you they may say something.

The reason I asked was because I heard somewhere that if it blocks the windshield then it prevents you from being able to get out through there in case of a roll over. something like that.

Got the belly pan on. Sexy. Just need to trim the oil pan/tranny skid about 4 inches. It used to go over the cross member but now the crossmember is covered by the belly pan. Yea no more replacing crossmembers, I'm on # 5 right now.

So I shook her down yesterday at spring creek. I guess I grenaded my passenger warn hub before I started this project. I noticed it half way through the traiI had the front locked so I was in 3 wheel drive. She did surprisingly well for being 3 wheel drive. I can't wait to see her in 4 wheel!! As I got on the hwy to head home I had huge vibration coming from the rear driveshaft. Pulled over to check it out and I found 2/4 of my bolts for the sye gone and one about to fall off. We took off the rear d shaft and was hoping I could limp home in 1 wheel drive. No such luck she wanted to make a 90 degree turn if you let go of the steering wheel. So aaa to the rescue. She performed so well I am convinced that when it's locked and 4 wheel drive again she will be unstoppable!



AWESOME build....!!!!!
