    Got everthing working with the lights. Removed the self ground on the light housing and all is well. Everthing works with or without the night running lights. It took entirelly way too much work to make new turn signals.

    Bending tube this weekend......

    Finished the hand throttle. Should have done one a looooong time ago. It is soooooo nice. I found myself driving around the neighborhood using it instead of the foot throttle.

    Got all the a piler and piler kickers done. The rocker guards are soo strong. Got the door bars bent up, Can't put them in place until the seats arrive. Enough talk pics below.

    couple questions. I thought you were cutting out the rockers and making new ones? also I can understand how you tie the roof to the cage to keep that sheet metal from flapping around on the road but why the pillars also? it doesn't look to be anything structural. also why not tie the cage in by going through the floor and to the base of the sliders?

    Nope. Too much to loose. Meaning the rockers are pretty strong as is. When cut out and not replaced right they fold up like tin cans. Look at Clayton's roll on Adam's DVD.

    Who knows. The seat belt ones were originally put there during the build of the cage. I know the a piler tie in really helped though.

    Cage goes through the floor and is tied into the rock sliders and frame rail sleaves which are both welded in.

    i can second the folding rockers. my first cut outs did that. but my second attempt whith the cage works VERY well.

    i dont' liek the crazy hoops comming otu of the doors but it might look better in person. Around here those things will get cause on tons of stumps and trees. i guess not so much on the rocks. but hey, here douve noze really helps. so to each there own.

    i think fenderless looks way better IMO. And i can see where yoru goign with the front tube lines. i'l bet the fenders mount of that crazy hoop you put in from the a pillar.

    looks good chad. keep it up.

    The hoops out the doors will become the lower nodes for the door bars. Thanks

    Made a new spare tire carrier, since the rear bumper was sold to Justin in CO. Also found some super cool rear view mirrors. Got the driver side installed.
