My Never End Build

It's looking great! I want to see those seats in.

 

I may have to look into this, my taco is in sore need of at least ext travel...

 

I'll give you a good deal, free shipping and no tax!

 

Sounds good to me!

 

Did you get my email about the Methods?

 

Don't think so, let me check

 

replied. Maybe one day get a set of those Baja XP's too...but that will be a while yet.

 

Some cage work pics, almost done! Windshield top, bottom and pillar rolled tubes, roof top rolled tube also, just missing rear of seats tubes and 4 roof tubes.

You throwing sound deadener inside the cab?

 

You're really pushing me to get a cage now x.x

 

Yup, already have 2 boxes of shock industries sound deadener

 

So what ends up happening with all the interior trim panels and roof liner? Does it all get modified and go back in or do you end up doing something completely custom to clean everything up on the inside?

 

I'll do everything custom for a cleaner look, vinyl headliner and hard carpet

 

some cage updates

 

Nice bro! U end up having enough steel

 

Thanks! Still need to fab the engine cage so I'll find out then

 

Why the v bars in front? Never really understood the need for them.

 

any reason that the frame is not plated where the cage makes contact? Also, any reason you didn't build off of the frame to land the cage tubes on instead of on top of the frame? Would have been just a little easier without those last Benz and that awkward angle it hits the frame.

 

They add a lot of strength. If you kick sideways at speed and roll, the A pillar takes a whoopin'. Another reason...trees. I know most of you are dezert dawgs and that's not an issue. My neighbor had a caged jeep on 40's, no V bars, and happened to slide off the road and down a steep bank at low speed. He endo'd just right into a tree, collapsing the cage in the center. He did not survive. http://www.kvewtv.com/article/2014/nov/17/single-car-fatal-crash-umatilla-county/
