one week cage build

kid rok · Sep 17, 2007

I started on my cage Friday night. I have never bent a piece of tube or used a tube notcher ever before I started. I have to give myself an A+. I think I did pretty well for my first time. http://offcamber4wd.org/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=9672&g2_page=2

thank gawd man. I kept looking at your cage when we were down and was a little scared for you with the sillyness you drive with. Didn't wanna be the **** with the hack looking rig that was shitting on your cage, so I kept quiet, but, glad you did it. I vote don't paint it, but that's just me :flipoff1:

Yep, it does look very good. Far better than most's first attempt, and better than some who have been practicing for some time. 8)

Thanks man. Still going with the original colors. I stole alot of ideas off other cage designs. I was worried at first ,I thought it was going to look like a boat. Then I finally got the upper part done and it was a rig.

You are working crazy fast, Brad. Can't wait to see the finished product! Make sure the floorpan and firewall are fire-proof, Randy would appreciate it. ;D

Ya , no dought, we would have been bunrt up bad if the last floor pan had any more holes in it. I would have liked to seen that fire ball instead of feeling it.

Got any newer wheeling pics with it since the re-do

No not yet, I actually got my cage welded back on tonight. I lowered it close to four inches. I also figured out where I need to mount my rear shocks. It looks alot better than it did originally. I know that it's better because it's hard to get into and out of. What type of metal and what guage do yaw use for skins?
