Looking good so far. Good work on the 4 link's! It's interesting to see how each persons truck evolves over time. Some have quick changes, other morph more gradually. But modding is half the fun! Enjoy! |
well i decided to make my own cage. its simple just a skeleton of the stock body never seen it done before. thought it might be kinda cool. i used 3/16'' steel rod let the shapping and welding begin! http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/7...1012300457.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/8...1012301614.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/4...1012301727.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/308...1012301728.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

nice looking start to your cage.... Ill be watching to see how it progresses. |
got some more done on the cage http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/1...1101021808.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/160...1101021809.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/4...1101021809.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us and im putting the cage over the body to give it a safari scale look.. http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6554/...1101022108.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2...1101022105.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us still have to figue something out with the front to give it some weight and looks. cuz it looks naked lol any ideas guys??? . |
well looks like ill be ditching the cage and ordering a comp body i picked up a scale jk jeep project to do custom cage work too.... |
That's kind of too bad. It was an interesting project. |
That is a shame, it looks awesome so far. I reckon finish it off any way and stick some boddy panels on it. |
Or throw it up in the forsale section:twisted:........... Its a shame because u just never find a stock body that looks that good... |
Well it was getting too heavy, after putting weights in my front wheels and cage. I just don't thing it would have performed well. If some body could give me some ideas to make the front look better. And I couldn't figure out any way to mount it if it was just gonna be a tuber. Any ideas? |
weld your side plates to it and just make it a full on tuber. just when it was getting good too. |
any ideas on what i could do to the front of it? it needs something else and i guess i could just make some 1/8'' steel plates and go from the bottom of the door and goe down toworrds the chassis?? well now yall gat me thinkin about im gonna hit the drawing board for some ideas!!!! illl be back "thumbsup" |
shorten up the nose hoop and run another tube from the side to the front and a few gussets. |
this is what i fab up tig welded some steel brackets and bolted it to the chassis http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/...10107-2041.jpg http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/...10107-2205.jpg and cut up the body and made some pannels http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/...10107-2220.jpg what yal think?? |
That thing is looking great, keep up the good work. |

Get that giant antenna under control too;-). I read a thread about making a plate to wrap it around out of lexan, I took the same idea and did it with styrene. |
