It should be nicely tied in... My rock rails were not tied into the cage, but they will be this time. The header panel and front fenders will need notching when its done too.
Yes, air shocks would be cool, but I know how to make rear leafs work really good. I am not real excited about linking the rear and learning how to balance my Jeep all over again, but after six or seven sets of leaf springs, this WILL be my last set and I'll learn how to make a 4 link work, one way or another!!!:rattle:

Yup.
100% confident I could keep going forward while looking out the passenger side at the ground.
It creeped me out.

Yes and no... JCR made it, but I asked them to angle up the ends like that.

Tube work done... now needs paintwork and fender notching/re-installation work. Fenders are about done now... I had to cut more off than I wanted to (didn't get the a-pillar bars as tight to the body as I originally planned), but it will work. Fenders are just sheetmetal at this point anyway. Lousy cell phone pic, but you get the idea. I'll get better pics once I get some paint on it.

The whole cage (interior and exterior) is 1-5/8" .120 wall DOM.

LOL... The thought crossed my mind, but I have never NOT made a line because of my front bumper. It has been speared DIRECTLY into the ground and into rocks quite a few times, and but in either case that was nothing a throttle pedal couldn't fix. Also, there are no stress cracks of any kind in that metal, so its sticking around.
