It fits great in the TJ tub. The fit is snug but correct and doesn't leave gaps or anything. I'll have to have a somewhat smaller fuel cell behind it later but I really like being able to carry four people.
The struts are in! Kelly (blacksheep10) took care of me and got my order in and although it took about 14 weeks it was worth the wait. All I can say is that they're awesome. The construction is top notch:
Now it's time to get them mocked up. In related news, my corners are now on and the rear is ready for tube:
What will end up happening is a small section will be cut out of the middle of the cell, maybe 1-2" in height. This will let the cell fit entirely behind the rear seat since as of right now it's a little bit too tall. It made more sense to buy a pre-built cell and do that instead of going custom.
Pretty much, they're just propped up so that it can roll. The struts still have to go in and that will lift the vehicle up a few inches, most likely 3-4".
How is that dash bar set up? I have my dash off to build my cage but can't figure out what u did. Do u still have defrost? I'd love to do like u and have it underneath. Thanks for any help.
