I want in! haha

 

drive on up...


i hate cages, takes way too much time and effort. way too much time spent with little done last night. LOL

I did use a 5lb sledge one some body sections last night to get some tube to clear. LOL

 

yea cages suck, especially when they save your life

I should have my new truck in the next few months so I might actually be able to make a run up there next year at some point.

 

well after they are done they are nice but all the work up to them sucks. how about that?

sounds good. get a few SAS'd rangers wheeling. would be a good time :)

 

Well how about i stop by your place, we make a weekend out of building me a cage, then we wheel... I cant believe i don't have one yet

3 sasd rangers on one trail would be a great time.. we can gang up on the jeeps!

 

ill run in front of you matt so you know what you can and cant do.

 

its always easier the second time. lol

ha! good one.

 

wanna ship one to me in pieces?


its kinda how katemcy went, except i chose to do some other harder lines while he took bypasses

granted i was asking for all sorts of trouble

 

hmm, possible. ive been writting a bunch of this down but shipping would suck.

you want an exo? i could send the bent pieces.

 

what are you building?

I need one, pm me and we can talk monies

 

ill get some pics this weekend, we can discuss pieces with bends to get you started.

 

hey i dont want to jump on the bandwagon but if you are willing to ship, want to send me a hoop like your backhalf hoop? lol. kinda need one and dont have a bender. and i dont trust anyone down here to do it correctly.

 

yeah i probably could. shipping under your dime tho! problem is i need 2 people to bend such items. ill see if i cant drag my brother out in the shop.

 

i wouldnt expect you to pay for shipping. shoot me a pm with what youd charge me to do somethin like that when you get the time. im in no rush.

 

im in no rush either. i need to finish this project first.

 

i dont expect to wheel my truck again till almost the end of the year so no worries.


Jacob, why do you need that? what haven't you told me? haha

 

its a secret. lets just say, i have a saweeeet drawing laying in front of me on my desk that im going to be putting into the works here soon. pm me for details

/threadjack



good work zach! lol

 

man you guys screwed this thread up...

 

we tend to do that....however, you have the power to delete sir.

 

atleast it stayed semi on topic.. still talking about trucks and cages.

 

I haven't read the rest of the thread past the posting of this picture so you may have already addressed the issue, but I see a problem in how you mounted the upper link to the frame pivots.

From what I know of geometry, this will cause a bind and possibly the upper link to break. The way your pivots are set-up, each bar making up the upper link will want to travel in a circle around the bolt that holds them in place. If so, they do not follow the same path. Both your upper pivots should rotate around the exact same axis. Theoretically, they should both be joined by an imaginary long bolt that goes through both pivots.

Fred

 

I believe the upper pivots should be like #1 in the picture and not like #2.

 

Fred because they are not "bushings" they will travel like option #1 too.

WE will see, thanks for the tip though. If I have issues I will look into that.

 

Couple pics... So close!

 

next mod should be a good camera thats not blurry
