Jeff homchz 02-20-2002, 04:34 AM Leaves somthing to be said for a good cage. Doesn't look like much damage. Was it home made or a kit? I am looking to install one in my 66 FJ40, and that one impressed me. Josh KMAN 02-20-2002, 04:50 AM metalmender is correct. That is slickrock about 5 years ago. Bad line and waaaaaaaay too much air in those buckshots. That was a 360 only thank god. Regarding the cage:( His front hoop and cross members were after market and held up fine. The rear hoop was factory and totally deformed. The rear hoop would not of held another role probably. You should see his cage now. It is massive. If you wheel hard, replace the factory hoop or you will regret it. FJ4ZROX 02-20-2002, 07:06 AM Glad everyone was ok. I also concur about the AWESOME asction shot. I must offer a statement of praise for the stock cage, tho. I have a 74 with the stock rear cage and Smittybuilt front cage kit that was welded in. I have rolled more times than I care to admit, including 2 events with HARD multi-barrel rolls. My cage is still intact and I have not been able to measure ANY deformation of the cage itself. My passenger side rear fenderwell has buckled slightly, but the cage is ok. Also, being a structural engineer, I had the welds NDT'd after the hard rolls - everything is fine and dandy. That said, I will admit to working on a new custom cage as part of my "final phase" of mods. This one will go to the frame and provide the support for the seats as well. Just my experience.........

That's my motto, i have seen a lot of peeps try to hold their rigs up against a ledge with their hand. YEAH RIGHT!!! i always keep a firm grip on the wheel, no matter what... nice pics- KMAN 02-22-2002, 12:24 PM Here is another one I found :smokin: KMAN 02-22-2002, 12:29 PM Another KMAN 02-22-2002, 12:32 PM recovery Mustard Dog 02-22-2002, 12:34 PM The driver looks like he's dead:eek: jk KMAN 02-22-2002, 12:35 PM enough said wngrog 02-22-2002, 12:39 PM Isn't that the dude I met last year that swung through Moab from Virginia on the way to GSMTR? Swampers and no top.....classic. KMAN 02-22-2002, 12:58 PM You got it :smokin: His name is Chris Fryman from Cincinnati area club Rice on the Rocks. This was at the "private trail" at the badlands park. He drive that rig from Cincy to Moab, then I think to Texas, to GSMTR. 2F, SM465, swamper bias, no top. That is TRU hardcore, not some high dollar POSUER. He said he had never flopped, broke a birf to this point. That all changed after this trip. | |
