You don't need to supply me with jack except work. You have done enough for me and aside from the bumper I am just glad to be your friend. Happy Thanksgiving

you must be really short of friends

No, just keep the good ones close. Most end up being users and I don't care for them.

i think that is high enough for the articulation, just dont get out. exactly what travel have you actually got now

doublej · « **Reply #164 on:** December 06, 2009, 07:06:07 PM »

well got alot done since last post, but doesnt feel like i got crap done this weekend.
pita crawling around this thing to weld it

random photo of tub and hipbar

bit of CAD work

turns into this....

and this

also got the rear uppers welded and gusseted

then i started playing with the fuel cell so i could call the back half done
was thinking length wise and batteries on the other side

this is easier, but gotta modify the floor braces so i can tuck it as low as the links will allow

then cranked out some recovery points that will second as the rear bumper mount

then stand back for a look

doublej · « **Reply #165 on:** December 06, 2009, 07:13:47 PM »

well while flexing the rear out we noticed the coilover just barely touch the frame, so im going to have to notch that
and at the same time the lowers hit the frame in the last 2in or so of flex.
pretty sure i have a quick and simple way todo both, but i wanna wait till johnny and dan get down next weekend with my hubs so i can make sure with the tires on the rear there isnt any more issues......

also figured the tub flooring out, gotta grab some steel bar since its alot easier than cutting long strips with the grinder, it should come out mimicking the crossmembers and look alot like some baja trucks.

other than that this week i finally start finishing the front, wonder if itll beable to sit on its own next weekend?

getting more inticing each set of photographs, shame it wont be ready for the weekend.

On a more serious note, are you adding crossbracing to the central roll hoop

all to come young grass hopper

this is mostly for the pirate4x4 crew, noone had a real answer on what it takes to tie the front end tubing to the main cage
guess its more of a baja / buggy thing.

drivers side

this side had alot more stuff in the way, any farther in and it would have gotten into the brake master mount

pass side

pass. side was alot easier to deal with

all and all you have to build the drivers side then make the pass. side match - the inner bracing on the driver side pushes the tube at odd angles
but not to much that you cant deal

simple yet sexy - i really need to learn to tig for this small stuff

Dave69 · « **Reply #172 on:** December 10, 2009, 04:53:30 PM »

tieing the front into the main cage is basically what you are doing now. Make a hole through the bulkheads so the front engine cage can be attatched to the A pillar part of the cage. Might be worth putting some gussets in to strengthen the joint as any front impact forces could bend the main cage. The body work then starts to become purely cosmetic. You might then get an idea to mount the engine to the front cage etc etc

doublej · « **Reply #173 on:** December 10, 2009, 07:39:47 PM »

do you have a degree in stating the obvious, or it just something you are naturally good at?
again your killin me.

your not the first person to say that, but with the way you are going it looks like your space framing the jeep
