Of course it is.

I redid a few things on the cage, mounted the winch, and started making some spring mounts. Thanks Cascade Crawler! I'll be moving the seats forward a bit. They are a little to "gangster".

I love that dovetail job with the single halfdoor. Very slick. I'm saving some of these pictures for later use

I forgot to leave you a new blade for the portaband, hopefully its still cutting.

It broke on the first bracket I tried to cut. No worries though. I purchased 3 more for good measure.

And, yes it is a factory cruiser frame. It is a total pain to try and make brackets for. Nothing is straight or on the same plane. The frame changes width all over the place as well.

I have a feeling your treating my saw like your ol CJ

Lincolnlock · May 5, 2009

Of course I am. I was trying to use the blade as a hammer.

Lincolnlock · May 8, 2009

More stuff. Bobbed the corners of the frame. Made some shackle hangers. I also got it to run a bit better while I am waiting for tabs.

The stocky cruiser springs turned around backwards.

Did you run the overhear spreader bars straight down to the point in the brow? Does that interfere with overhead room?

Yes I did. No it doesn't interfere with head room. There is 5+ inchs of head room right now. It's pretty similar to my old YJ. It looks a little weird without aluminum on it.
