What the hell is the op asking for? Does he want a bolt in tube slug? " 1.5" .120 that are can be bolted"?

just out of curiosity, what are you going to use them for (where) on said exo cage?

MtnGoat · Feb 22, 2015

smbroady82, Man I plan to use them on the main supports that tie in over the hood.

Reason: Basically I cannot get in there and weld it solid. Also by using the bungs I will be able to disconnect and remove the top portion (for whatever reason I may need to). I assume those bungs are pretty stout....I rolled a couple rzr's in my time and the bung support held up nicely.. Do you have any concerns or suggestions you could share? Am I overlooking something?

The picture below shows main front support. I can get in all places and weld (although its going to be tight). Over the cab is another story thus I need some bungs..

*PS: If any of you Yota guys need any drawings...I have several I have done over the past few years (complete detailed drawings of bumper supports, cages, etc.) just let me know.

Just an example of some of the 3D work...and 2D work. I might take crap to far sometimes....

smbroady82 · Feb 22, 2015

no concerns, like I said just curious, I try to learn something new every day

Be aware, with that type bung, the parts must separate parallel. If not, they will bind, or not come apart at all. These are more forgiving, and cheaper.

^^That is what I have for mine for whenever the front gets linked..built the tubes to weld to the new beefier shock hoops then bolt up with similar flanges

JohnG That is a good point.......Thanks for sharing!

BTW How do those in the link you attached work? Thanks

smbroady82 · Feb 22, 2015

you weld your tube to those, one on each piece of tube that you want to mate to each other and then bolt them together. most of us use them for engine bars
