Oops sorry I've been using the mobile version. Doesn't really show the limks or any of the signatures. Thanks

It took a while, but we got the passenger side tube bent.

No, not in the cab.

A little progress on the rear fender.

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.

Holy jesus....enough bolts in the bed armor?!?!...

...that cage and those bed mounts look so familiar

:agree:  Do you know something we don't about an upcoming apocalypse? 

[H3RESQ]

You should be able to fit about 8 bolts on the armor for the gas tank cover, maybe 10.....hehe... :wrench:

[reson46]

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.

I wonder why......   :hmm:

Looks, good. Just had to tease you a little. :cheers:

No offense taken.  I had the same thought after I marked it for drilling.   :thumbsup:

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?

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.

Trimmed the front fenders to fit around the cage.

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.
