Nice looking setup. I really like how it is built like a full size rig would be (4 link, tie rod and such)
My buddy machined his truck from scratch as well. Made everything except the electronics and tires. He made the shocks, gears, u-joints, beadlocks, cage, real differentials, 2-speed tranny etc.
Drop by his site if you are looking for some custom machined stuff... http://www.marksmark.net

Can't tell from the pic, you need a cross support on the B pillar. If it goes over hard you don't want it to fold, got to protect the electronics.:D

I have to give a thanks to JayK he gave me alot of Idea's in the Chassis. He did a write up last year for 4x4wire. not sure if it is still there are not. his cage turned out so strong. He has a shot of him standing on the cage. amazing!

I have seen that page before. I love that wire cutter.
FatKid. Ya the B pillar will have some support. but need to
make sure GI joe has space for is cooler of cold ones. It came from a little of Lance's cage and a little of my own idea. The C pillar needs some support too. it is a family cage. The kids have to be safe you know
