Just a mini-build update for those that helped w/ my rollcage Q's. Instead of a rollcage, i waited and waited for a stak. BW 1345 blew apart @ carnage BV. Photo of it in where the old t-case sat. 18 inches of ground clearance w/ 37's.

Going to clock it flat(22 inches of clearance) and mod the tranny x-member lower on the driver side.(like the pass. side) Or find a stock one. It'll help w/ skid plate loc. as well.

Always nice to have something like that to keep you busy. :D

got the x-member done today, welded with some help from co-worker. Will get some pics of the new energy suspension mounts/motor /tranny/t-case.
Ordered up some 10x2x 3/16th rectangular steel for the rock rails. 11$ a foot sound about right??

basically cutting rom the black plastic side trim down and eliminating the step in the doors. Prob about 10 inches of better clearance on the body. its a unibody with a seperate front sub-frame.
Pic is around alma area.

Motor mounts from energy suspension and then i'll order up some new d-shafts.
Gotta remount the t-case with the modified x-member for frnt shaft clearance to measure for the shafts.

I love this thing
