take a look here

fuck yeah! The cage is looking great.

And all those wires scare me

 

yeah they scare me too lol but i have a buddy who says he can do that. that service manual that is a sticky has the wiring diagrams in them i just need to pull all the unneeded wires. i want to run dual batteries one for engine the other for lights and radios and such. but i want a switch to move the engine system over to the other battery incase the main dies. it shouldnt be too hard

 

and here is the fun stuff

 

WOOOOOOOO it looks so clean



But dear god this looks like a nightmare

 

I felt a pinch in my stomach when I looked at the 2nd picture with all the wires...

 

if you look closely you can see that almost every end is connected to something i even have the dash cluster there (not in pict) but that will make it simple its just seperating all that shit thats going to be a bitch

 

that's gonna feel great when you hit a bump and your ankle smashes into the tube

 

I'm going to pad it and around the cage

 

If I recall correctly your not supposed to land a roll cage tube to the top of the frame anyway. There should be some sort of tie in plates like MJP2 has

 

mjp2's rollcage is one way to do this is like what i did this is from a guys truck from ttora



and considering this happend, i would rather go directly to the frame.

 

Can someone post a pic of this MJR2P guys setup? I wanna compare.

Just a suggestion, its your build. Just wanted to bring it up to your attention before you got too far along to change it. It would be a way to get you some extra leg room. BTW MJP2 is score tagged


"The cage is tied to the frame through doubler plates sandwiching the floorpan and these boxes underneath"


Per score "Cages must be securely mounted to the frame or body and gussetted and braced at all points of intersection. Cab or body mounted cages must not be attached to the body structure by direct welding, but must be bolted through and attached by the use of doubler plates (one on either side) with a minimum thickness of .187”, see Figure 4. Where bolt and nuts are used the bolts shall be at least .375” diameter SAE Grade 8 or equivalent"

 

well i run into a speed bump well not really cause its on jacks so i cant run into a speed bump. my upper arm mounts were hitting my headers so i did some redesigning and we are good i got better camber cycle out of it. ill have to do some more drawings on the plasma cad program then itll be ready to go

 

Looking good!

 

i got the seat yesterday but ive been too sick to do anything with it once i get over this ill take it out to the truck and throw it in there for some picts

 

WOOOO FINALLY PAID THE TRUCK OFF NOW I SHOULD HAVE MORE MONEY TO DUMP INTO IT

 

nice!

 

congrats...now make some shit and take some pictures

 

So did you ever test the arms out? Any recent pictures of them?
