thats a beautiful node in the center of your b pillar... you must be a patient man!

your cage shares a lot of design cue's with mine, that makes me feel better about my work!

Thanks

Patient....not me. 20 years ago we used to notch the tubing with a chop saw and hand grinder, that takes Patients. I dont know what I would do without my tube notcher.

...,I don't know what I would do without my tube notcher.

Something involving a chop saw and an angle grinder?



Good looking work man,...

Dropped the cage last night and welded all top tubes.
Cut holes on the floor and dropped the cage.

what notcher you run? i like my JD2 TN-01, but it needs a 2nd notcher to help on the more complex notches on shorter peices. im thinking the notchmaster.

how'd the b-pillar drop out? it doesnt look like it would have room to drop thru a hole, due to the diagonals. did this stuff have to come untacked?

Its a pro tools notcher.

Yea, all the B pillar tubes except 3 where removed to weld the top of the cage.

Question are those shocks tilted back a little to get 90 degree's at bump? Were getting ready to do this to a buddys jeep.

There completely Vertical at full droop and about 2-3 degrees leaning forward (towards engine)at full bump.

Gotcha must have been one of those optical conclusions. lol Thanks for the info!!!

 

[Larrythedog]

I bought a 97 4.0 motor from Jon Krellwitz it was out of Symanskies Jeepspeed that Jon parted out.

I got a good deal on it but the passenger side motor had been broken a few times. Looks like two of the four screws hole had broken screws stuck in them.

Took a while to get the screws out. Cleaned all the holes up and got 3/4" of clean good threads on all holes.

I Installed the Brown Dog engine brackets. They really fit great.

Because Some of the hole on the block where damaged I made a modification to the passanger side Brown Dog mount to use the two alternator screws as well as two other 5/16 screws on the block.
