I don't know if it helps any but here is a pic of my yj ..... Yours looks good from what I can tell I know how hard it is to bend and fit tube all wile trying to make it look cool :****:

Thank you for the pic. You can for sure get more creative while doing a back-half. I am going to work on mine a bit more tonight. Im not real sure as of yet what the future has in store for it

keep the pics coming looking forward to seeing what you come up with

I put in some time last night after work. I finished the driver's side B-post and decided to change the ladder bars a bit. Tonight I am going to take everyone's advise and move the A-post forward a few inches for leg room. I just hate having weld-splice seams in a cage.

I think it should be a little stronger.

So I had a section of the cage kick my @$$ last night, so I decided to take a break, put the lid on and dial in my new welder!

The only bar I got in last night. The driver side should be half the time.

Nice welds and bends, good work takes time

Patriot Customs · Mar 24, 2013

I managed to gain a little more progress this Saturday. I still have a few more bars to add.

I can never get through an entire fit-up without doing a little welding :eat:

I had a little extra time this weekend so I finished the cage. Im going to wait on my seats before I mount the seats and build the center tunnel.

Figured I would tig weld the "Legion of Doom" windshield spike!

This is the stance that im shooting for...22" Belly clearence @ 114" WB

These will be my next project. Wish me luck! Never built a custom front steer axle before.

June dog · Apr 15, 2013

That things lookin to good. The way everything is going I don't think the axles will be any problem.

Only thing I tig welded was the center point in the windshield. Im a little rusty with my fits at this point or else I would have tig welded everything. Ive been sitting in the office for too long! :****:
