Looks like you got some good high clearance with those rails. Are you going to extend them out any wider for door protetction or ??

I'm still tossing around ideas regarding door protection. Look in advanced fab and check out what I have there. Its under 'cage foundation.'

This has to be the sadddddest picture I could post....

Just when I was starting the final welds on the roll cage.
:rattle:
Oh well, I did manage to finish the cage and start the rear quarters. I needed to finalize the quarters in order to build the correct bumper.
The stock gas tank will go back in. That will allow a lower mount for a spare (or two.)
These plates are big enough to cover the entire spring hanger area and also allow for a good mounting surface for the spare carrier.

The welding quality went up a bit too...

Okay, so any monkey can weld plate....it sure didn't help me with the rest of the tube welds!

That is so sad....:doh:

I may just have to drink a beer to drown my sorrow for you....

You are making a ton of progress though! Can't wait to see it finished!

While it is SAD..... I have to admit.... the first thing I did was laugh....
Just being honest.... Hey maybe this slowed you down a little and you'll see a potential problem or get a better design idea...... XJ GODS are looking out for you... saw a possible back injury.....
O.K. I'm snickering again.... maybe cause this is what happens to me all the time.
Go look at a cabin....
