wow that exo looks good why did you take it off ??? did it not work well??? cant wait to see pics of the soa oh ya love the tail pipe

[60seriesguy]

Nice looking exo! How much did it weigh? A lot? Also, I'm guessing the portion that wrapped around the rear wheel wells interfered with articulation, right?

Nice looking truck, man!

[smtyblt]

well I took off the kit because it weighed about 800 lbs and when crawling on rocks and stuff could not do much without it tipping over
the cage did work the truck as you see it was flipped over in the parking lot about thirty minutes after the last bead was burned and not a scratch on it butt it look a ten ton fork lift to put it back on its sneakers

I made it out of schedule 40 gas pipe

I know laugh it up but it was cheap and thought it was bling at the time

[kling-on]

no really man i like it i do alot of river crossings here and have had my runner i 4 1/2 ft of watter ( over the hood) and was thinkin of doin the same thing since i stalled it one time and she would not restart under water but she never came back from that day and know im workin on a fj60 how did the soa go what arms did you use how do you like them send pics ... pics...pics

[kling-on]

heres the pics of the exo ... cool how thick wuz the pipe ?

[smtyblt]

thanks the cage served its purpose for the time I had it broke through acouple of steel gates one night and alot of trees paid the ultimate price because of that rack

1.5" I.D. .250 wall thickness it was very heavy had to put to add a leaves in the rearjust to handle it

exhaust worked very good only problem was it seemed to trap the condensation when the truck wasnt running but blew it out quickly with a couple of revs

by the way built that myself out of sched 40 and weld fittings for gas pipe ( did not have a bender availible at the time)

cut it off cause to top heavy

[smtyblt]

well I am buying 4 39" boggers from another member hear on the BBT (convertiyota)
thanks man for looking out for me

by the way the wheels and tires were $125.00
the tires are bald in the middle but I dont care
they are 39's
