Well got some stuff done on the jeep today. Alot of cutting and welding, and some random wrenching. I got the back doors finished, gas tank removed, and the welding started. Still have some more welding, and grinding before I start the cage.

 

Got the roof brace back in. I also found this decal today when looking for something else. Score.

 

very interesting build just one question what made u want to do this to ur jeep Its very weird how u cut it like that, instead of a bed its a flat bed lol its still cool its a one off man keep it up

 

I got the idea cause when done right they look good. I also needed to atleast comp cut for when I go 4link and bigger tires. The chop top just gets to add to the whole caged/buggy look. Is this a better idea of how im going to do it? I will be adding new sides to it. When I do a 4link rear I need more wheel well so I can push the axle back 6-8 inches. There will be more sheet metal added around parts of the cage to add a barrier between the "bed" and the wheels. Once the metal starts going back on you'll see better. For now all I have is a sketch I took 15 seconds on it paint to show how the cage will run roughly.

 

oh cool so its no longer a dd then i take it lol but i like the idea but why not angle the rear in wards? but i like the idea

 

No it's just a toy. What do you mean by angle inwards?

 

I like it. So something kind of along these lines I am guessing? Can't wait to see how yours turns out.

 

Not quite cause I'm doing my cage inside the jeep. That is a bada$$ rig though.

 

yes like the way the rear on that sick as rig is. sorry i was tryin to post a pic but wouldnt do it my fault for the confusion

 

Ok just an update since I haven't had any results to show in a few days. I had an accident while welding, and was told no welding for a few days. Should be doing some more work thursday or friday though. Picking up my pipe tomorrow or tuesday though.

 

Accident... flash burn?

 

Yeah my welding hood wasn't darkening right apparently, and I jacked my eyes up pretty good. Needless to say I am getting a new welding hood.

 

I don't know how to weld. But people I know who do, have had the same issues with the darkening ones. They have the ones that just stay dark.

 

Yeah I gotta find my hood like that. I think my autodarkening one the lens is shot or something. Idk if the sunlight messed with it too or what, but I'll prolly get a new one.

 

I'm watching this one! Decide on the power plant yet?
