Time for Tons

[Callelle]

The outside halos just look really doofy to me.

From what I've seen, it's hit or miss. Some look well done, others look like tacked together scrap. I'm actually glad I get to see yours done first, I'm thinking I want a cage within the next year and have been flip flopping the idea of internal vs. external. Now I know for a fact that I want to stay exo for the simple matter of head room, and the fact that my XJ's body is for the most part, unscathed. Side question, is there a fair amount of space on the roof once the head liner is removed? I've heard that you get an extra inch or two and have thought about taking it out (at my height, every little bit of head room helps).

I can guestimate better the next time I'm at their shop, but I'd say at least 1" of room was gained, maybe more.

If my body was as clean as yours, I would have seriously considered doing an almost full exo, those look better than just the halos sitting on top in my opinion. But mine also departed DD land long ago. I asked Smike his opinion on that, "she's a little haggard to go outside at this point", I agree

Getting back to this after a hiatus.





Rotted floors provided some convenience for this

I need to brace my rockers at some point as well, looks good.

These are mostly serving as cage tie-in points. I don't love them, but I wasn't coming up with anything better in my head. Considered having them go up thorough the floor and be flush with the bottom of the rocker, but that would reduce how much of the tube could get welded to the rocker and stiffener.

Give them a ramp on the bottom of the slider...

[Harrison]

All but some small stuff left.

Trailer bearings inspected, repacked and given an "emph"

Truck got new driveshaft carrier bearing, rear wheel bearings inspected and drums adjusted up and all fluids topped and checked.

Looks good and stout.  How long before roll-over testing? 

[Harrison]

Friend that helped me building said I had to do a roll over test...

Those Solid drive flange snap rings are no joke! Took giant channel locks and prying with a screw driver to get it in.

[JEEPWERX]

Looks good harrison.
No roll over testing at BD.
We already did that with nicks dad and dog few years ago.
good times. :/

Gas tank skid was starting to frown, so I relocated the tank today. Talk about a bang for the buck mod!

The best every was the bronco (Chris?) with the ratchet straps holing a fuel cell to the back seat. I think you win for safety if not for brazen ballsiness.

The amount of space back there makes the Cherokee-to-TJ size comparison painfully clear.
