WOW
I just spent 2 hours reading this thread, IMO great
Keep it up.
why not weld that spacer to the "frame"
Why? it doesn't cost all that much to hack off the back of the zj, build a frame and the quarter elip was economical. just gotta have the base to start off ofOriginally Posted by TrojanMan

Fist off i never claimed to be a experty at bending nore will i ever become one. so if you do things the way i did it and fuck up alot of tube dont' come bitching. Everything i learned is from bendign 101 on POR.
First of all this is what your going to need to do this right
mark your measurement on the floor with soapstoned like so.
then bend up a 90* and mark where the bend starts and stops. also mark where the bend starts on your bending dye.
you will be able to tell where the bend starts and stops by feeling the inside of the tube for a small indent.
then use this to mark where the bend starts and stops on you tube from the outline on the floor.
one side of the bend
then the other
measure the total length of tube your going to need frm your outline. then cut it and mark center of the length. from the center out mark your first bend.
then insert in the bend and line up the two marks( the one on the tube and then one on the dye) then start bending.
that wasn't detailed btu if you want more tech i'l post the link to the bending 101
so here is what it loosk like.
now for the truck pics
the main hoop took me about 3 houirs to do and it is 6" to wide at the top. in total i'm 10 hours into this cage. 3 hours yesterday and 7 hours today. it is not done yet obviously.
That's fucking sweet!!!!!!!!

Just some things I would have suggested:
- Your b to c kickers should have come to the same node as your a pilars.
- I would have had your a pilars hug the body more.
- Run fenders. Looks better. Besides your tires stick out beyond them.
- Your windshield bar deserves more bends. Get it closer to the wind shield.
One thing I have been dreaming of is how I am going to one use the stock fuel tank for the fuel cell. I will proably build a basket some how into the new frame rails I am buiding. Secondly I am wondering how I am going to inclose the passenger compartment behind the rear seats. In your case the front seats. You going to run doors? Take them off and make some door bars. Looking good.

Lookin' sweet! Is it just me or is that b-pillar to b-pillar bar behind the front seats a bit too high up? Looks like its about head height...I always thought you wanted that below the shoulders, assuming you are using it to mount shoulder harnesses off of.
Good, now get your ass and ass ugly ZJ thing to GSW so I only have to pick up puma at the airport instead of bailing you out of jail for trying to bring weed into the US
the shoulder bar is high i read that if the bar is below your shoulders then in a forad impast it suckes you down to the ground. above your shoulders and you spine stays straight. i will be mounting suspension seats higher up off the floor at a later date. for now i'm useing stock seat belts so that mont matter.

I was saying if he could get his ZJ to GSW he could build a stash in there, hence no plane.. unless he's talking about cargoRead again. He's flying in if the rig doesn't make it.
