LOL ^

 

Whats up guys..i know some of you have seen it on Instagram/My build but LSK recently finished caging my truck. We did a cab cage with four seats connected to a full engine cage(Yes the windshield wipers still work ), connected to a front bumper. Anyways heres a few pics, more in my build. Just wanted to share the great work LSK Suspension did for me

 

Wow looks awesome man

 

Nice work man, What kind of rear view mirror is that? I need one

 

Well i started my sua today. Taking things apart now. Any advice from you guys?

 

Cool! I'm interested to see a better shot of the dash. Did they just cut slots in it for the cage?

 

Measure twice cut once.

 

Thanks dude!

I believe its called Longacre? Ordered it from SDHQ Vince on here

Yup, rolled dash tube and cut slots for the tubes. It bolts on like factory and they added three screws to the top for added rigidity. Is this what your looking for?

Heres a progress pic from a few weeks ago. They got the dash to fit smoother after this was taken too.

 

Thanks man found it. http://store.sdhqoffroad.com/longacre17mirrorwithtabs-1.aspx

$35 is not bad at all

 

anyone need some grade 10 bolts? got the wrong size for my arms

 

Perfect! I tossed my dash thinking I'd end up with a nice 'glass race dash at some point and it just hasn't happened. Tried to build one and it didn't go well. It's hard to do and keep the stock gauge cluster, a/c controls etc. Does anyone know of any digital gauge clusters that aren't stupid expensive? Really just need speedo and tach along with fuel level...

 

Just get a scan guage2

 

did you see a lil blue ranger single cab in there? lol

 

So please excuse the very stupid question but what's required to keep the seats adjustable? (Forwards and back) did a quick google search found a few frames but not sure if they are as safe? I'm a long way from a cage but just trying to figure everything out.

 

I ones similar to these, work great

Brace the frame in a spot that wont affect your mocking up of the shackles, Drop the tank, and grind all the existing suspension mounts off clean.

 

I ordered the trail gear box kit and it doesn't fully fit. Too much gap in some spots to get it welded.
Got everything tacked up and cycling it now.

 

Cory got the same kit for his and it fit pretty ehhhh

Just grind it down a bit and split the difference

 

Hey fellas looking for some input on the 3 link I'm setting up right now. There is an insane amount of info out there and some of it is conflicting so I'd like to know what works
