i like the way the roof panel came out

Re: cage mod
 

I've made this change on my Wraith and I must say it was a wonder.... I'll take some pictures tomorrow and then I put here.

I guess we could call "snohiker wraith cage mod".....

Re: cage mod
 

lol im glad it worked for ya the drilling can go so wrong if your not carefull

Re: cage mod
 

ok, I did not use a jig :roll:, but I'm used to taking aim at the center :twisted:... it was cool."thumbsup"

Re: cage mod
 

Like target practice in the dark.;-)

I did this mod and took it a step further. Once I cut the extra bars off the roofs center section I bolted it back in only reversed. Now the front points to the back and normally where the front curves down and comes to a point, I just bent the stock roof panel down and cut it to a point like stock in the front. I'll try to get a pic up showing what I mean. Came out great, I just now need to decide weather to strap in a spare tire or not.:mrgreen:

Re: cage mod
 

please post some pics I'm curious to see it

Re: cage mod
 

Here's an attempt at some pics.Kinda surprised how well they turned out considering there from a cell phone. Where the down bars in the back reattach to the lower cage at the bottom I filled in the seems with a plastic epoxy. Once I hit it with some flat black touch up paint over the epoxy it should look like the cage and down bars are molded together.;-)
I've still got to make another rear hatch/cargo cover. The one currently on it doesnt fit as well now and has cut outs in it for the small bars that were removed.
Steve is getting lazy, he thanks all he has to do is drive but he needs to learn how to clean windows. That windshield is filthy.:mrgreen:

Re: cage mod
 

man that looks good, i chopped mine up the same but the bars on mine are closer the the doors

Re: cage mod
 

Thanks, I think it looks more like a 2 seater buggy now,that long stock roof makes them look like a station wagon.:mrgreen:

Re: cage mod
 

nice job i like the roof point in the front kinda looks like a visor . i need to get a windsheild next . are those xr10 wheels kinda like the look

Re: cage mod
 

the mod turned out real slick... thinkin on tryin it my self

Re: cage mod
 

post some pics if you did it id like to see how it worked for others . if you use the jig idea and take your time its almost seamless

Re: cage mod
 

Ok.... as promised, though late, here are photos of my cage mod, it is for me the best cage mod for the Wraith, very well thought snohiker..."thumbsup"

Re: cage mod
 

DiabloCrawler I really like that mod!! I have to do that to my Wraith too. How long did it take you? Is it easy enough for a rookie to try? That looks so much better than the stock Wraith look.

Re: cage mod
 

very cool thread, looking forward to doing this

Re: cage mod
 

Yes, they are and so far I like my XR10 wheels too.

OP, nice job on the cage mods. 8)

Re: cage mod
 

Looks good guys. I can't wait to pick mine up. That looks like something interesting to try out.

Re: cage mod
 

It took me a few hours, calmly, and we can do this change relatively well, nothing like trying....;-)

Re: cage mod
 

Where do you buy that aluminum stock at? That is an awesome jig!! I wish I had that setup when I did my cage! "thumbsup"

Re: cage mod
 

Looks good. I wished my stock wheels were black. Much cooler looking...
