Started my roll cage. The rough framing is done and spot welded in.

 

Nice

nice halo. why the straight bars up top? you need more triangles. and you triangulating the b-pillar at all?

 

Definitely need more triangulation.

 

The straight bars up top are for mounting cb/switches/etc in the front, the rest are there to keep the look maybe some speakers in the rear, don't know yet. I am moving on to triangulating next. This is the rough frame. Thanks.

 

a little off topic, but your cockpit looks cool from a distance. any close up shots?

 

Here you go. It is rhino liner on 14 GA with 1" angle as the frame work and stainless steel cap bolts to hold on the steel to the frame.

 

looks good! nice and simple. are those speakers in the middle on the tunnel?

 

Yes those are, it is a marine speaker system so they are water proof.

 

Did a little more work on the cage finally. Did some triangulation of the roof area.

 

nice, now get a main hoop in der

 

what tube, tube bender, and notcher are you using?

 

I am using 1-1/2" tube for the entire cage. I bought an Affordable Bender from affordablebender.com. I am not using a notcher, it would make it easier but I have always used my 4" grinder to make my notches.

 

copy that! i looked at theirs and almost got it till i found another one a bit cheaper... just ordered JD2's cheaper notcher also... i can use a grinder but im so tired of using it for EVERYTHING i really need to invest in some other tools instead of spending so much in discs...

 

That is true, I also spend a ton of money on discs. Maybe I will look into the notcher as well. Just might be a good buy considering the amount I have spent on discs.
