HUGE thanks to xcm and yamadevil!

its the steering its binding up on. the TRE at the pitman is maxed out before it gets anywhere near the full droop of those shocks. gotta go over the knuckle.

you gonna run a custom dash or the factory one?

haha his dash right now is non existent with the cluster tied up there. personally i would think custom cluster small and easy would be cool in this rig

 

[Ryno XJ]

Wow Mike, it seems like just a few weeks ago that thing was just a bare shell...........................oh wait, it was!!!:doh:

:cheers::cheers::cheers:

yep. I'm going to build an aluminum dash once the cage goes in, with all after market gauges.

Where do the tubes going through the fire wall end, if you don't have a cage?????

 

[GrimmJeeper]

they're capped off for now the hoops are supported with legs that go down in the rear as well as the front. should be fine to drive out to the fest and back I won't be beating on it.

[Ryan93]

wow looks awesome!

Looks great! If it were me and I was gonna wheel it before the cage is finished, I would probably atleast add another cross bar at the front of the engine (closer to where the shock are mounted). It will probably hold, but I know its hard to hold back sometimes once you hit the dirt!

Why do you think I am going for Andy?!?

I am slightly worried about the twisting force that could be applied on the center of that rear cross bar, but it should be fine for now. It will all be tied into a front bumper soon anyway.

Awesome... totally awesome

Makes me want to keep mine and start cutting things.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

It took everything I had to make the first cut, I thought to myself "if this doesn't work out... I'm screwed." not really any turning back once you cut out the coil spring buckets lol.

hack it up!

 

[toyotawrench]
