Thanks 5 bros, here's a couple more for you. Tweaked the notches a little bit to get some rake on the beltline.

Lmao, yea i saw that.

I have 2 more tubes to hang before I cut the roof. When I get there I gotta clean up. It's getting difficult to work in a mess.

Btw, forgot this little sketch. The winch will be below and behind the radiator. Keeping as much weight a low as possible, and also best possible approach angle.

Finished the remainder of the front frame and got one corner tied in.

I think you should do this professionally. You're a hell of a fabberkater, and quick to boot! :dblthumb:

I wish I could make enough money to do so. I live on the wrong coast. Not enough off-roaders per capita here in NC...

Thanks 5 bros

Love this build!!! :woot:

mcutler · Jul 10, 2016

Mo toob...

Rear x's almost done...2 more legs.
All the tube is cut to finish the cage area, ready to be fit. Also some layout to start cutting the remainder of .120 wall. All the other triangulated lacing will be thinner wall/smaller diameter.

Thanks for the confidence. I'd love to do one large project a year for willing customers. Last year I built a Bro-lite truck for a local racer-Dylan Wiles. He took it to Robby Gordon's shop a couple weeks ago, and Robby even drove it. Gordon even had some nice things to say about my work. My wife has no interest in my off road hobbies, (2 of my boys do), so it's nice to have my work acknowledged by my peers. Thanks again.

For now, until my youngest goes to school, the wife stays at home. My career must stay constant till then. Anything could happen after that!
