Re: cage mod

Can you please tell me what you used to cut the cage where the two parts fit together to get such a neat joint ?

I used a 106mm 30 degree bent link for mine, and it fits good with a spare tire :)

Re: cage mod

I just used some spare stainless tubing I had and put a small bend in them to get the look I was after. I think it looks good along with the chassis moved forward.

Sorry for the late reply. Haven't been online in a couple weeks. 3/8" is pretty close, but I never did measure it. I just moved the chassis forward until the front and rear shocks were at the same angle, which happened to center the chassis over the skid and even out the look of the tires in the wheel wells. It was just an experiment that I happened to like, plus I like to be different.
