97yota's fully caged 4wd long travel build

oh yeah... been following that build for a while. that's pretty much what i was refering to... he's a double can and is having trouble getting seats in the back. i think he kinda came up with a solution by cutting into the floor board so people's feet would sit lower and their knees would clear under the cross bar and he'd just pad the shit out of it...but still. IDK...

eric, imagine somthing awfuly happened and you rolled the truck and it caught fire. a person in the back having to crawl though all kinds of tube and prob hit their head on the cage (which will still fuck your shit up even if it's padded) while the truck is upside down... it's a death trap dude.

i know it's an extreme example but why risk anything? i just dont see it being practical or safe.

 

^x2 always think of the worst case scenario, also would you ever sit back there

that is an AWESOME build, thanks for mentioning it guys!

 

yes true. the (shitty) e-lockers have a different housing/carrier. The point was to be made more on topic that Eric does not have an E-locker so he's good to go.

 

And now that I have caught up with this sideways seat idea...What are you thinking dude?? I have romped with you enough to know that "just going camping/lake" involves a hard romp over the most gnarly thing you can find. We would have to put death disclaimer's all over you truck, and advice all traffic to stay fifty feet back...just in case the seat explodes for no reason.

 

Haha nice picture jd, and I like your description matt..

You guys talked me out of it.. The main thing was being able to bring the woman to the dunes..

Anyone want to buy a seat? Lol

 

lol

 

i thought the same thing hah.

hey anthony, want to buy a seat? hahaha

 

Did you get it? Is it too tall for the middle?

 

not yet, i got something from usps saying something is waiting for me at ups... but that cant be the seat.

im wondering if i should call them at lunch to see if they have it since they were supposed to have it last night?

and were thinking so... and everyone is saying its a bad idea. i still think its not a bad idea, the only problem i see is someone getting out of the truck in case of a emergency. it will be like crawling through a jungle to get out.

 

Safety first bitches second lol

 

i know! but i like bitches

 

Who doesn't?

 

them^

 

Haha chumps

 

i wasnt sure thats why i said i think lol

 

im honestly thinking of taking my visor off of my helmet and wearing it so i dont fuck myself up on the tubes lol

 

Looking good Eric

Are you planning on adding gussets where the joints meet?!

 

thanks!

and yes of course!
