[tharlanjr]

What motor are you gonna run?

4.0?

[CumminsJeep]

Im very intrigued. looks quite bada*s man

[xjjeeper19]

What motor are you gonna run?

4.0?


Judging by the no painted bumpers and the D35 in the other pics and the 904 im guessing 4.0l. but it would be some animal with the 4.7l V8 and the 45RFE in it....

So nice... I have been waiting for the WJ's to start making an apperance!

[Tom_T&Js_Offroad]

Thanks guys. we will be running the stock 4.0L so we can race this thing in the 1700 class. the rear now has a Currie F9 housing and iwe will be keeping the D30 in till it brakes.
To anyone that wants feel free to stop by and check it out.

Well message to t&j.. there's 3 zj's on here wanting cages. I'm sure they'd sell good too

[sjstar]

[SpartyKrunk]

O...M....G!!!! I sent a comment on the website the other day! This is exactly what I want to do with my WJ! Keeping the windshield ofcourse. About how much is that project worth?

sorry cant say how much the build is. but i can say its not cheap. just think this guy got nothing but top dollar stuff. think of this, $$7-8,000 in just cage material(all chromoly).

nice build! Um, that sounds really high!!! So about 1000 feet of tubing??? :) So at around 2.6lb/foot you are looking at 2600 pounds of tubing:), assuming it is 2"x.120" wall 4130:). Great looking truck nonetheless Tom!

[Nissley_Racing]

just checked my numbers. that includes the dash, window and skin fab. thanks chris

[SpartyKrunk]

Woah... :D Haha might be a year before I can afford a cage like that one. :P It's amazing. Can't wait to see it finished.

[chris_amrein]

I think Skullver is asking/saying that $7000-8000 sounds high because Tom said:

"in just cage material(all chromoly)"

And to me that would suggest labor would be additional $$$? But let me know if it is $7000-8000 because I will need to get back into building cages on the weekends again...

But it sounds like you have some interested potential customers and I'd hate to see them scared away based on price if it wasn't just the material cost.

Chris

[SpartyKrunk]

Pardon if it's a stupid question, but what kind of material was used to replace the glass on the rear door and side windows?

[crazyjim]

Aluminum... it's all aluminum!

[Tom_T&Js_Offroad]

See you at the Expo.....
