: Zuk Cage Ideas
Azrckcrawler 10-25-2002, 11:54 AM Found this site while following a thread in the jeep section. There's some good shots of this cage and of chopping the entire back end off a Zuk.

Azrckcrawler 10-25-2002, 11:55 AM I like this shape.

Azrckcrawler 10-25-2002, 12:00 PM There's actually quite a few Zuks covered on that site. This one almost looks like a small Bronco.

zuk_crwlr 10-25-2002, 12:03 PM i like the "little bronco" cage it however what does the dip in the front hoop do? or is it just for looks??

Azrckcrawler 10-25-2002, 12:03 PM This back end is pretty cool, needs a cooler mount tho.

Azrckcrawler 10-25-2002, 12:11 PM Most likely for looks. If you browse thru some of their other projects they use that same styling cue. Another cool cage.

SilverZuk 10-25-2002, 01:09 PM A cage is my next project.
I've got a few questions but haven't researched it yet.
I will when I get working on it.
My biggest question is where to attach the front loop to the frame.
I still need to look at some, search, and then decide.
I'm still pre-planning for now

I think it is just bent. Could have been rolled in another zuk and transplanted???? Who knows.
Thanks Chris for the link :D

This is a good link for anyone who's thinking about building a cage. Plus, I'll eventually re-do my front end to make it tie in with the back.
tZUKnami 10-25-2002, 07:11 PM I like this shape.
I made mine a halo design also. It came out quite nicely.

I just thought I would clear up the confusion about some of the cages on my site. The Zuk cage and a few of the others have a dip inthe front of the cage. It was placed in the cage for looks. In some ways it keeps the cage from looking like a box. The bar on the front of the Zuk goes down and forward at the same time. The cage in the Zuk is not from a rolled Zuk. There is a CJ cage and a YJ cage that do something similar. As you can see in the picture below.

I am about to build bumpers and nerf bars on this Zuk, so check back for updates.
Thanks,

BlueTorch 10-26-2002, 01:36 PM The way I wrote the reply above looks like I am calling the CJ a ZUK. I am going to build bumpers on the green Zuk on my site. Sorry for the mix up.
Thanks,
Dan

Hey dan, I was just throwing a little joke out there. As for the cage, thanks for getting back to me (Art) so fast with your info.
oh, just because it wouldn't be right if I didn't......
:flipoff2: Welcome to the board newbie :flipoff2:
I've seen some of Dan's handywork in person, he does excellent work. I 'wheel with Jason (Blue YJ) at Tellico a few times every year..... the vanity plate is correct, it'll go!
I really like the cage in Joey's new Zuk!
scwafish 10-27-2002, 05:32 AM I really like the cage in Joey's new Zuk!
Me too, the more I look at it the more I like it.

I like your work, you have a good eye for making a cage look (for lack of a better word) right.
