DAYUM...........

That cage looks awesome. Great job, Adam.

Thanks dude! Havent seen you around here much lately!



Hope to get this pushed back in on friday, and then add all the a pillar and in cab bars. After that it will no longer be removable, unless I cut the roof off.

Yessir. Normally my dad is all about me getting over the blazer and growing up etc. But lately he has been all about this thing. Giving me advice, helping out. I think he really likes it alot. And that makes me more happy than the whole build in general



I really wanna find one for him and buy it for his bday. That is one of my life goals.

Is this your bedliner? Or a different paint?

Its just rustoleum hammered silver. Bought a qt and brushed half of it on.

That's the beefiest AV cart I've ever seen. Will hold a hell of a projector.

 

[dabomb6608]

Looks pretty good. Wonder how it will hold up.

Lol. Me and brett were talking the other day. We were like " hey we could fit some like 44s here, and put the engine behind the seat bars, and build a cool buggy with a few more bars

Looks pretty good. Wonder how it will hold up.

Its tough $hit. Ive painted alot of stuff with it before.

What are the dimensions of the shop you are working in? I am going to be building one in a couple years and that looks like a good size.

And what happened to your cage plate on the back right?

are you making the front a bolt in addition, or are you welding it to this rear section?

 

[82355]

Those gussets look much better than your original intentions.

Welding it. My favorite thing about steel is it's easy to cut apart. And easy to glue back together.


Yah Martin I like them a lot. I just wish they had dimples

 

[Richcz28]

Do you need to cut a hole to dimple?

 

[Deuling]

Do you need to cut a hole to dimple?

Yes. That's the hardest part of them lol. They do make punch/dimple tools all in one, but they are only good for up to like 16 ga. So that's lame.

I have a 6.2 and it's got a wicked rattle but it climbs dunes all day.

This made me lol. Also, I think Adam should "Pull your motor out and take it to the dyno to tune it." Instead of buying a $12 pressure regulator

Adam is a dyno king. He even tunes carbs!

If by tuning you mean breaking them and then giving them back to Dave.... Then yes
