Weekend is over...what did you get done?

[bigalpha]

Been busy packing up all our crap. We're loading our shipping container today and leaving tomorrow morning (hopefully).

heres a taste of the front end... minus the body panels.

Looking good David! It reminds me of when I installed my long arms... I sent Adam at Clayton Offroad a scathing email saying how the kit was worthless and how my Jeep no longer sat level.... I told him I wanted my money back.

LOL... he called me up laughing. It had a slight gansta lean.

:scared: We happened across an AL SCCA Solo event down here... the 8 yr old was digging it. I didn't see anything as kewl as an Evo.

It was putting 380hp to the wheels too! There was also a fully built STi hatch, multiple Subarus, a factory five Cobra, Road race Fox body and a sleeper 65 fastback. I've also ridden in a blown Viper out there!

Finished up my Father-in-laws little Miata roll bar the other day...Turned out pretty good and he loves it. Yay for me. I saved him $560 bucks.

I am #1 Son-in-Law.

Been scrambling to get this exo cage finished up, making progress but its slow going.

Here is the B-pillar tacked in, still need to add a vertical bar in the center to the exo, but the outer two tubes go to the exo through the roof, and down through the floor to the sliders/frame.

Made another hinge on my lathe out of Delrin for the rear swingout to add some stability to the swingout and tie it all in.

Today I started doing the finish welds and gussets in sections on the Jeep, and then painting as I go. Still lots more gusseting, welding, and painting to go, but its getting there. Still need to do the C-pillar too.

so i bought a subaru.....now what?....

 

[krawler09]

Looks good. Was that a premade kit or did you design it yourself?

Thanks, I designed it myself along with the sliders, next it will be the rear bumper with a gas tank skid integrated into it.

So what's your guess on how much weight you're adding to the TB with all this tubage?:viking:

 

[stumpXJ]

330 pounds of tube. Kinda like having another me with a case or two of beer in the Jeep with me...

washed my xj and drove it around a bit yesterday with an 18' car hauler and a 73 cj6 on 35's with a full hardtop on it.... stock brakes and gears suck donkey junk when you do this with them.
EDIT: cj does not belong to me, unfortunately. it belongs to my friend. i'm just trying to help him get it going again.
