and heres behind the patch in the wheel-well, i had to reinforce the area with angle because this is where the body mount tied in. you won't even notice it after its painted.

cage progress-
floor rust patches done
first pic was the worst rust behind the driver
2nd pic is passanger side front, second worst rust
third pic is drivers back small quarter size rust patch
4th pic no patch just wirewheel and paint.
cage update, all in place and tacked, welding in progress. will paint tomorow and i'll bolt in when its dry
i got both new diff covers on, but if anyone remembers at clayton my front arb locker stoped working instead of the compressor locking the arb it was just blowing air out of the axle breather tube. So when i took the cover off i tested it again, their were no obvious breaks or cracks in the copper line that runs from the diff housing to the arb, to the best of my knowlege the air leak seems to be comming from the internals of the arb itself. ANY ONE KNOW?? I didn't want to screw with it so i just put the cover on and added fluid, i guess i'll send the axle out to someone who knows what their doing when i do spring over, anyways heres pics.
the stock rear cover weighed 3 pounds the replacement 19 lbs. the stock front cover weighed 2 lbs the replacement 9 lbs. I'm sure clayton can find a way to hurt these but at the very least i think they can stop 47.
i think everyone saw the cage in person but just for sh*ts and giggles.
Looks good. :gigem:
so what keeps that cage from folding over sideways? Looks good, btw
dash bar and bar behind the seat. if that is what your asking anyways.Quote:

yah poison spyder customs
its a trail cage with interior access in mind. there are tons of them out there just like it. its a one roll deal. your probably still alive, now replace it.
in a future build it will be gusseted, door bars added, diagonals behind the seats, and seat mounts integrated. the key word there is future however
