Here's a couple pics of my new cage (not complete) but it's lookin prety sharpe so far! I just need to do some choppin of my frame and rework my 1/4 eliptical set up, then I can have the cage finished.

one more..

opps.

FAAAWWWWK YEAH JEFF! I'M TOTALLY DIGGIN THE SIMPLE, LONG/SLEAK THING! THAT'S ALOT LIKE HOW MINE WILL WORK OUT, BUT WITH A HINT MORE INFLUENCE FROM WOODY'S OLD CAGE. I REALLY LIKE IT THOUGH, I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT YOUR CRUSIER WAS ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING... I BEG YOU NOT TO GET CAUGHT UP IN THE TUBING CRAZE AND TUBE IT OUT :(


BUT THAT IS AWSOME LOOKING!

MATT:)

Jeff,

Real clean looking, how many feet of tube? (2" .120?) Is it welded to the tub in that last shot, or is that a weld for a bracket underneath?
BTW: You got free time to build up a cage AND put up Christmas lights! Dang! :flipoff2:

Mark

Those are tabs that are welded to the tube, and bolted to the body, but like I said, it's not done. The cage is gonna get attached to the frame.

As for getting caught up in the tube craze, never! My cruiser has and always will be fully functional. I just really wanted a new smaller and lighter cage and I wanted a lower cage. This cage is 2 inches shorter to help fit into the garage.

However, inorder to lighten up my cruiser, I'm gonna chop some of my frame up which is not needed with the 1/4 eliptical set up anyways. But that will mean some added tubing, but only where it's needed! Also, the cage design allows me way better access into the cargo area which I will never chop up! What good is a trail rig without any place to put the camping gear and ice chest!

Here, here.

Why is it we only get pictures of your rig during buidups?

Time to get a camera Bitch signed up and take them with you on your next trip to the trail!

Your Cruiser looks BAD ASS and I want to see this 1/4 elliptical in action :D

very nice...we start my bending tonight for my new one....can't wait to get it done!

(drove it to my buddies house yesterday morning in 20 degree weather with the windshield folded down, the seats piled in the passenger area and me sitting on a milk crate...cops just laughed and waved!!)

Looks good Jeff! :beer:

it looks allot different sence the last time I saw it! dying to see how that 1/4 E works out for ya. what springs did you use? f-150's?

what springs did you use? f-150's?

F-350's

thats cool that your avoiding the "super mush"

:beer:

Here's a daylight pic.

DIG IT!!!

Question, with the cage being 2 inches lower, are you going to lower your seats too? I am so damn tall that when I build me a new cage and make it lower I am gonna have to lower the damn seats too. :mad: Which probably means lowering the hood too. :mad: damn that seams like a lot of work. :D

I like it! A cruiser that still looks like a cruiser, not a bunch of tubes with a hood on top! :skull:

The seats are coming out for some smaller lightweight racing buckets. They will sit several inches lower than the ones I got now. The cage height is fine in regards to my head right now. Notice the rear bar is angled back, and the side bars are a bit wider.

I am an disrespectful asshole, don't listen to me Hey GloNDark, you need to remove the "n" in "an"! Sorry man, I just had to inform you of this!

:flipoff2:

Damn the grammar police got me. I actually went from just an asshole to a disrespectful one.....guess I forgot the N. :D

Nice and simple, I like it. Hey not to change your thread here but do you have any pics of your 1/4 elip. that you could post. If you would rather e-mail them to keep your thread that's cool but I'd love to see some.

Very nice;)

Freds40, I'll post a link to a directory, you'll find pics of 4 different 1/4 eliptics in it. Mine, Lances, Timbo's, and Medusa's. Soon we will have a photo album up in the tech dept that will cover this topic.

Looks Sweet, simple and functional. Glad to hear your leaving your cargo area...what good is a rig without one...:D

that looks lighter than your other unit? ;) going the lightweight way?

i should have sooo tagged up that thing when i saw it at the shop. looking good though for a :rainbow: warrior. :flipoff2:
