I know some will chime in and say its a hack method, but it has worked for me.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to give this a shot this week on some the the angle notches I have coming

I doubt anyone will say this is a hack method, it is effective and fast. After using this method it is hard to go back to the notcher.

I have used that method before as well. Notcher was too slow.

I agree, but the last time I mentioned it I got a bit of ribbing about it. To each their own.

Little by little this thing is coming together!! I have a little over a month until socal fest comes, and id like to be able to bring this pile!

With the help of my lady, we got the front frame stiffeners in this weekend. She made the cardboard templates, stripped the frames rails, and we cut out 3/16" plate, drilled some holes an welded it all home.

There's a long list of stuff to get done before I can drive it again, but it's getting closer. I have burned through about 90' of 1.75" DOM, and need to pick up about 30 or 40' more to finish the rest. Then get some sheet metal to start filling in the lower half and sealing it up....

After all the cage work is complete, I still have the steering to do, hydro assist, track bar, axle gearing, yada yada yada...

Looks awesome..... Hurry up.

Thanks man! I had started thinking that I should have gotten this thing drivable again before I had cut the top off...

Until I heard about this guy....

Then I remembered why I am doing all of this....

SAFETY!!

X100. Was the guy okay?

 

[garrett83]

I heard he walked away, but lucky at that

I can see someone with a cage that has it just bolted in punching through the floor and making that even worse.....glad they walked a way.

 

[rockclimber]

that pic right there is my inspiration to get a cage done before the end of summer.

It belongs in one of those red Asphault videos they show you in drivers ed.

Anyhow, it reminds me of why I'm going through all of this, and why any future rig I build will have a cage. You never know what simple stupid move will get you in this kind of mess

no shit.

I heard he was backing up it for a photo-op and went too high... I wish there was video.

 

[freerider15]

Yeah, that guy was an idiot for thinking about even attempting the matterhorn.

Hell, I'd have to nut up a bit to try that in my buggy!
