thats the one thing i hate about wheeling. i'm always taking pictures and i come back with like 3 camera phone pics of my jeep lol

 

[dukie564]

[ktm racer 419]

UPDATE!

lots has gone on, ive been pretty much DDing this thing, drives mint. gotten it airborne a few times, took it on the beach through some nice up and downs at 50-55 and she absolutely floats. doing 70 on the highway, i can pull off into the median and it doesnt even feel like i left the pavement. the suspension was totally worth it. heres some pics of the cage still in progress:

view from the rear, shock hoops and b pillar drops being mocked up

bilstein p0rn

poly performance resi mounts

notch p0rn

weld p0rn

b pillars burned in

roof spine burned in

and of course i forgot to take pics of the harness bar so i just took some a few minutes ago..

and from the back

this is how i want the b pillar area to be when its done (super high-tech CAD rendering)

i also want to have each corner to tie into the center on the roof (again, super high-tech renderings here)

thoughts?

harness bar looks high

you need to buy a license for that CAD app from Rob, stop using the pirated version

harness bar looks high

thats what it looks like, but its barely above my shoulders. belt needs tp be 0-10 above your shoulders, and itll be perfect running the strap mount things under the bar.

harness bar looks high

Yeah really. Like the highest one I've ever seen.

I'd wager that's not enough room for big suspension seats either...judging by where my B-pillar was, and I was too far forward by more than a few inches to come close to makin it happen. Even if it fits side-to-side, you'll be sitting a bunch more forward for the same seatback position if that makes any sense.

Fixed for you.

yea i meant to type that, idk why i said above

took a lot of time before burning it in, bc it looked high. but i followed this:

i sat in it, my friend measured, and the bar is at the correct height. as far as seats go, i'll just have to figure that out when the time comes.

 

[twodoorXJ]

i have no input on your harness bar...but the rest of the cage looks badass, taking notes for my cage.

WORKSAFE PORN! What could be better? Looks great and glad to hear it was worth the expense to go 9100's.
