My Cage is done, what do you not like, suggestions.

I got my cage done, though I dont like how it flows, I think it looks cluttered, and alittle over done.

I think I will remover the single vertical bar on the front window and replace it with an inverted V made from smaller 1in tube.

The whole cage is 2in HREW 120 wall.

Im not sure I like the V on the rear roof section over the back seats.
Im also not sure I like the almost vertical bar that goes right behind the rear seats.

The back was dove tailed 12in, and I will make wheel wells in back once I get afew more things done.

I also dont like the sliders I made, they get Seriously hung up on stuff. I want to cut the bottom half of the doors off and make a new slider up there, that would be like 18-20 taller then it is now. It would be about a 45 degree angle down to the frame...

I'm diggin' on it fer sure.

looks well thought out, looks like more than adequate protection.

I think you should paint it bright lime green!
 
Stout! :greensmok
Did you build one for the kids crawler too? :rof:
 
It looks awesome!!! The only thing left to do is go out and see if it works!!! Have fun!!!

Today I painted a section olive drab green the same as the body. That really made it look better. All thay shiny unpainted tube makes it look buzzy. I think painting it the same color as the body will help.
 
How about bending some tube to follow the wheelwells? Might make the exo-sides more complete. Looks extremely heavy-duty!! :) That's a hell of a lot of tube bending!
 
Looks great! I dont think you should change anything on the roof or widshield bar. I would however move the verticals inside the tailights to the corner & bend a nice radius then fit an LED tailight there. You dont really need the stockers anymore. Then bend up some fender tubes and bob the fenders flat forward & back, let the tube make your wheelwell arch.

Looks damn stout, good work!
 
Not enough triangulation. :D

Where does the beer cooler go?

Is Ashman your name? Did you have a sticker cut so you wouldn't forget it?
