Like I said it has been in the garage for a year, and most of them are pretty cool, I keep the front CLEAN always and keep the noise down after 10pm, so no one can really cpmplain too much, and if they do, :flipoff2:

Is that the things that light up when they spin? if so, I am thinking of getting some, I have a light up tail pipe to put on too, I am going to give it some ridiciulas lighting bling, LOL, gotta have the Rubicon vibe.

Seriously though, that thing is fawkin sweet. 1-ton... doubler... winch... T/R BL's... big tires.... what more can you ask for? That thing is awesome. But seriously, you should boatside it. That would be safer, stronger, and sweeter! Nice rig man, I am a tad bit jealous.

Yeah, you've probably realized that if you were to attempt wheeling it in its current state, the body would fold in half. :D Make sure you get some good solid connections to the a-pillar when you finish it off.

Here's the best pic I could find of my rockers on this computer:

Oh hell, never mind, I suck at the internet i guess. :flipoff2: stoopid pluter.

Basically my doorsill is at the same height as the bed floor, and the rockers are 1/4" plate, that angle in at 45° and tie into the body mounts and the original floor, and angles up at the firewall. The doorsill is 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 x 1/4 angle, welded on upside down. My OE doors have been modified to fit. :D

We are going to do a halo off the rear part of the cage, and then tie it into the body or frame. If you look hard in the pics, you can see I have a piece of 5/8" sq picket holding the windshield up. That problem will be addressed as well.
