Well been geting a fair amount done on the 40 latley, and been geting a few folks that wanted to see progress.
-Links are all welded up
-Rear fenders cut
-started motor wiring, should be mostly done this weekend, trying to use the factory harness :shaking:
-Got the basic shape of the cage done today, there is quite a bit more to come on it. The bars that goin to the dash restart on the otherside of the sandwich plate and tie in to the engine cage then I will make a kicker to the floor, and some triangialation still to come, like I say just the main frame work done.

I was going to paint it but I am starting to like the look/ease of the alum. And it goes good with TR beadlocks too.

That was the goal on this rig. Somthing I can take on the hardest trails, works awesome but still looks like a Cruiser.

lookin' nice my man!
Thanks! After looking at many different cages people built, I like yours a bunch, trying not to steel the design but using a few of the same ideas. I made the front of mine different at least, not sure if I like it yet.
