Got some cage work done on the ol' Silverado. The wires you see are for hazzard lights (been told I need them!). The IROKs were just too damn big for the Jeep project, so on they go to this truck. Tractor Supply Company had 3/16" steel rod for cheap, so I figured what the hell Last edited by TrailDawg362; 05-10-2014 at 10:06 AM. |

| Re: Wisconsin rigs I'm thinkng you could do better, you got skillz . We'll see how it does with IROCKs versus Pitbulls. One things for sure, it's got some more ground clearance . Wish that "build bug" would bite more often, I might actually have all my rigs done. |

Hey you could just go to a Menard's and get a mayo gas torch. Braze it together. As strong or stronger than welding. Plus makes a cleaner appearance Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk |

3/16" mild steel rod, Harris Safety-Silv 45 brazing wire and A MAPP gas torch. It didn't come out too bad for eye-ballin' it.

They're on black steelies right now. I'm hoping the extra weight will help.

The cage looked a little empty so I came up with something to fill in the open space. A Pro-line roof rack, cut in half with the leftover piece as the back. Now she's got some storage area .
