definitely! im interested for sure.

if you have a bender and stuff already available, you should take notes on how you do yours so you can replicate it. I might be interested in having one made some time next year if you would be interested in making another frame to sell and the price is good.

It would probably be more cost effective to have one outsourced and bolt it on, than to buy the bender and stuff to do one myself.

I would be interested in possibly making another bolt in exo.

ill keep you updated on how mine will go. Mine will all be welded in and have a roof rack integrated into it. I probably wont start the project for another couple months...

 

Id appreciate it!

I would do mine by bolting it to the main frame where the step tubes are on stock ones.

great idea

 

any updates on the cage?

steve

 

No updates on the cage yet. I have been set back for a while... the front diff case split in half 3 weeks ago from helping someone out of the mud.

Ive been rebuilding the front and rear axles at the moment while doing other maintenance also. I have upgraded to 4.88's front and rear. The rear is all set and finished, but the front gears are taking forever! it has been 2 weeks since I ordered them and they say it can take another 2 weeks minimum!!

I am forced to drive it in 2wd until I get the gears for the front.

I just started on making my full length roof rack tonight. just has to be welded together then powder coated.

 

sorry to hear your diff took a bump

let me know how the 4.88s work also, ive been thinking about them for a while now for the tires i have. unfortunately im still on the fence about the 44s, i dont mind the rubbing but it does get annoying.

I am going to try running about 15 psi in them again this year and see how that does instead of the 25. I had 12 in them when i got them but bumped them up to see if i could get better mileage with them, i dont think it helped any and it definitely didnt improve the ride any with them stiff.

im interested to see how it comes out thats for sure! i am still hoping to either get one made or make one sometime for mine.

So far with the 4.88's in just rear wheel drive, it drives so much easier. I dont do much highway at all so i cant justify that part. but around town and back roads are great with this new gear change.

Ill post pics of the rack when im finished... and when it gets mounted. I finished most of it yesterday but didnt take any pics. I shall tonight and load them up.

 

This isnt no exo yet. but this is something i wanted to have. It will be a while before i can even think of starting the exo due to this being my only vehicle running at the moment.

Heres some pics of the roof rack in the making.

 

looks good so far on the rack! Doing anything in round stock?

glad you like the 4.88s, ill have to consider those for some day in the future if i decide to do more wheeling with it.
