Ya no crappy welding. It would get done mig.
Do you think the plate mounts around the dash are really that much weaker. I really like that they keep the dash intact.
I think I am going to take a week or so off beginning of next month to get Clayton ready. Transfercase and all that it takes to get it flat belly first and maybe cage if I have any time left
And poly performance used to carry an entire pre-bent cage about a year ago. I really liked it. I wonder if I ask of they can still build one. The majority of my jeep was built using them anyhow.
So why no stick welder? If done right, I think it would be fine. Maybe not as pretty, but that's what pipeline guys do their x ray welds with...
If it is done right it is fine with a stick welder, but it is much harder for your average hobby welder to do it right. That being said there are plenty of crappy mig welded cages as well.
Sure I would trust a pipeline welder to weld a cage using 7018s and his lincoln 300d. Plus if you are going to use a DC stick welder you might as well get a scratch start tig rig and tig weld it.
Less than 7 weeks to Clayton. I started tear down Friday. Goal is to have atlas and all that entails, cage, fenders and new top.
Give 'em hell son!
I ordered two tops, two sets of fenders, a set of rock sliders and a cage today. One top, sliders, fenders are for my brother's Jeep. Also putting my sport cage in his jeep.
who did you get a cage from?
I got it from poison spyder. They had the nicest complete cage I could find. I spent a little more time on it today and am probably one or two nights away from having tear down done. It sucks I don't get to start till 9:30 after kids are in bed and I really only get 1:30 or so before I need to get cleaned up. I plan on taking a week of vacation in a few weeks to get the atlas in. I'm not super worried about the cage. I will wheel even I I don't get that in.

I have vacation scheduled for next week planned to work on the jeep but if she isn't better I guess I will be watching her. My wife has already been off since Friday and can't take next week too.
That sucks Tate, hope the little one gets better soon!Quote:
