reson46 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 I wasn't very happy with what the cage was turning into, so we had a slight change in direction. Mounting plates for the B pillar hoop. Trying to mock up the B pillar hoop. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3RESQ Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 You should be able to fit about 8 bolts on the armor for the gas tank cover, maybe 10.....hehe... :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reson46 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 It may be a little excessive but I wanted to spread the load out as much as possible. I don't think a tree or rock will be very considerate of how many bolts are holding it on as it is trying to rip it off. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bornindesert Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Cage fab = masterful work! Coming together nicely...are you going to connect the cage back into the bed like you had on the first two tubes you formed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reson46 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Coming together nicely...are you going to connect the cage back into the bed like you had on the first two tubes you formed up? I do plan on some more tubing coming off the B pillar hoop into the bed, but it won't attach to the top of the bed rails. That will come at a later date. I don't have enough time to build it before my next wheeling trip. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reson46 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 The last few weeks have been pretty much non-stop working on the MJ and then wheeling at Trail Jamboree last week. A big thanks to my friends Ron and Keith along with my father for helping me get this thing put back together to go wheeling. I picked up a set of dimple dies and added some gussets to the cage. Then it was time to burn through a lot of welding wire. Test fit before paint. Painted and installed. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
