Looks great, What size tube did you use

pos97TJ · Apr 29, 2009

I used 1 3/4 for the main part and 1 1/2 for the windsheild spreaders, tie the a,b, and c pillars and for the harnesses and seat mounts.

All he ask for in the begin was that it looked pissed off I am glad that we accomplished that. He is really stoked at how it is turning out.

Here are some pics of the doors I built. Should help keep the **** flyin off the front tire from completely covering their legs and toughen the cage up a bit.

I think so far there is 80 feet of 1 3/4 and maybe 80 or so 1 1/2. Alot of the 1 1/2 is used to tie in the seats and the doors.

Thanks, I have really enjoyed putting this one together it seamed to fall right into place outside of the seats. Landcruisers dont have a ton of leg room and the owner is like 6'5'' and got the wide corbeaus for it so shoe horning them in cleanly is proving to be a headache.
