Wow Eric it's looking great
thats my plan
. I am actually hoping to finish it up sometime this week as far as the cage goes, quite a few gussets to built and some really screwy notching of some tube to do for some tube gussets. Its all DOM and I don't want to waste any so any I have left that is a foot or shorter is gonna get turned into tube gussets
Looks like a heck of a start. I don't know if you make it over to pirate very often but there's a build on there very similar to what you have going. Here's the link

Is your truck lower than mine? I thought mine was low but, I though I read that yours was sitting on only a three inch lift. Do you have a shot of the two of them next to each other? I guess I am way off base here. I really, really like what you have done. That is exactly what I would have done, if I had any skills like you anyways.

When is the next update scheduled to be posted?
Due to other things I haven't really been able to do much. Rob your truck is way higher than mine, just an eyeball and I would say 5" or so. You want I should make your truck lower?
Anyway heres the pics
I kind of wish I would have coped all the top braces into each other. They are all very close to each other and will look different when I put the gusset I plan for them on. The gusset will serve two purposes it will make everything just a bit stronger and serve as a major mounting point for the top I am planning.

This truck is going to be so killer. I can't wait to see what it can do. Good work, brother.

Technically this is a build thread and should show up in the driveway soon. Looks good Eric, well I think so but what does your daughter think of Horton now?
She wasn't too happy with me at first, but then I showed her the backseat that was going to be all hers, which made her happy.
Didn't get much done tonight but some one door bar in, the other is bent and I started modifying the fenders to fit in tighter.
Also decided the TJ rear seat I had is too big, going to look for a suzuki samurai seat. It will fit perfect.
Door bar all welded in, just waiting for a brace or two

Hey when you get that Sami seat in there, I might need some measurements from ya. Im wanting a rear seat in my rig, just worried about Head to cage clearance...

The jeep seat is too big, really? You do know that your little girl is going to grow, right? Looks great.

they actually are a bit of a tight squeeze in and out Dave but once in they are very comfy I spend alot of time sitting in the seat and deciding where to put them. I wanted to be able to rest my arm on them and they work very well for that.
I have gotten in and out a couple times now and with a couple grab handles it actually won't be a big deal
Its easier on the passenger side
Yep Rob its too big, a sami seat will be fine until she is quite a bit older I think. Besides that the sami seat will be way shorter.
I have found in my wheeling its pretty easy to get a narrowed front end and cab through something, as soon as you clear the cab though you seem to get hung up on whatever is behind the cab, thats the reason I never ran bed sides and the reason the tubing is going to dive in very soon after my main hoop. The jeep seat is just too wide to accomplish what I want to do

I really, really, like it! I was just thinking that you little one isn't going to be little much longer. She is growing like a weed and that looking at her parents I think she is going to get tall quickly. Man, I wish I had your abilities to build rigs!

Well you have to make it comfy while your in there. Just watching a dude get out of a dragster is not easy feat, but its while your in the seat that counts. Looks cool Eric.
