Some update pics on tube work

I did not do the tube work, a good friend of mine did . I have a couple of peices of tube work left (the simple stuff), but you get the idea.

There is a couple of ammo boxes (rocket boxes), and a spair tire mount to finish up. Its currently tacked up, Ill finish the welding.

Nice!

Are you going to join the two cages together and add a couple more pieces in for support along the angled pieces going from the top of the hoops down?

Mean looking rig. I like where you put the fuel filler. Did you fill in the radiator support?

I like the look of that.

Are you going to have some sort of soft top made for it?

Looks sweet with the boggers. Do you like mud on the back of your head though? Nice job with the brow graft!

Yeah, I would take that one for sure!

A little cooking spray on the back of your head would help the mud slide right off too.

Nice! Looks like a blast.

What sort of wheels are those? I need some like that to make my jeep wider so it does not try to flip as much.

I really like the desgin but I think you need to put some cross-bracing in there for support on side flops/rolls. A simple "X" would help just behind where the cab ends. very pimp though

I plan on throwing an X in there, thats the easier stuff that a guy like me can do . I also wanted the bed and cab to be seperate so when i make (or have made) a top, theres no connection between the 2. I have had in mind a soft top for along time, since i did the extra cab .

There is still some tube work that i need to finish up. But if you look at the pics, Aaron (guy who did the tube) has an eye for detail. The work is very semetrical and followed the body lines.

I also plan on doing a full cage in the cab........Later
