The Barn Burner

damn that looks good. I think brian's right about the nodes though...may be worth replacing 4 tubes

[JB]

I see no pics....only red X's

photobucket is all fooked up today, pbb has been *****in about it for a while too.


I don't even get the red x's

[Doug Krebs]

shouldnt all of the tubes on the roof come together at the same spot, isnt that stronger than at 3 different places, other than that it looks good, when is it hitting the trail again?

They are close enough that it's probably negligible

[AggieTJ2007]

yeah but if you make them come together at the same point it is damn near impossible to get them notched tight and go into place

it also depends on how you design the cage, if you do it like you did eds then it is near impossible, but if you do it like most jeeps seem to be done and i think this is what it looked like robbie had done (i cant see pictures when i am at work), no halo, then you could make them come together at the same point, you would just need some extra hands to hold the pieces or something like that

I didn't think it was too much more work. But, Doug is right...it probably would make very little difference as close as they already are.

[AggieTJ2007]

I think it is the halo that makes it alot harder

Ryan, I'll let ya know for sure on next week once I get going on the railing project for my dad's new shop tomorrow.

Thanks for the complements.

Hey you yak molester, when did you steal my welding helmet???

[agjohn02]

[BMFScout]

looks good Roberto!

[CheapJeep]

Thanks. Almost done burning it all in, just had to take a break since it's so damn hot.

I made the dash bar below the cowl so I would have more visibility since I'm not running a stock windshield or dash, plus it's something different.

Update.

Ryan, let me know if you're still up for coming down here for a few days. I've been really busy with work lately and haven't had time to work on it.

Pics of the cage burned in.
