these fawkers need to learn how to spell. why is it that "Xtreme" shops always have to miss spell their name? or at least thro an x in there...if I had a dollar for every fab shop who has an "x" in their name...ok I wouldn't be rich but I could by a couple 30 packs of Miller High Life. Why do they have to be Kree ate tive on how they spell it? Is it b/c they are so off the charts in their fab work that normal spelling would not do their work justice? or is it for copyright reasons?

Seems like the appropriate thread to ask cage related questions, so here goes...

Do you guys see any difference in the strength of the cage if you run the hoops from front to back and then weld cross braces in between (I think Lynda's cage is like this) vs. running the hoops driver to passenger side and then welding brace in between them front to back?

For the Klogger, I would think 3 option A hoops. 1 windshield, and then 2 for each seat row?

hey whats the deal with the centerline radius of the jd2 and protools low end benders? Is the bender built with such large tolerances that its unpredictable, or is it all in the dies, or is it just the nature of draw benders? Sounds like most people's bends are off by 3/8" to 1/2" according to whats stamped on the die.

Doug have you checked the radius of the bends your machine makes compared to the die spec?

tommorow? I don't have all the tube sizes though...

I think I have 1.25 and 1.75 laying around.

won't be in town tomorrow, busy next week? my first round of tests will be over by wednesday afternoon

Either way, I would run a couple of down bars through the back of the cab an into the bed. I think Option A would be a little more difficult to bend up, but you have the braintrust that is Jones, so you should be good.
