Yeah but if you fell back on a cage like that, you might be in a world of hurt right now. At least you don't have to worry about locking yourself out anymore.
Hence why I'll be adding about 8 - 10 sticks worth of DOM when I get back from A.T.
Your dream truck that you posted kinda looks like a tube frame buggy with some sheet metal attached. I don't really see the resemblence, but maybe it's not supposed to.
In other news, isn't your chassis going to be as stiff as a wet noodle with nothing but a floor? Without the fenders, are you just going to have a bare engine block? I'm not seeing your vision and I have no idea how proper cages are built so I'm just curious, not critizing.
Once again, thats why I said its going on a DOM diet, DOM is steel tubing. The red buggy I posted is a Cherokee thats been turned into a buggy. Thats what i am basically doing with mine. The Jeep is still fairly sotut, though it does need to be reinforced. Cherokees have frame rails that run the entire length of the vehicle, they are just part of the unit body. The cage is currently welded to and through the rear shackle boxes.
If I gather him right, he's basically stripping everything off of the "frame" and turning it into a tube buggy so he can keep the VIN and register it for public streets. Yes it's not really streetable, but a lot of the CO trails require license plates on vehicles.
So when you cutting that shelf off of the ass end and linking the rear?
Essentially, Although I want to keep the Cherokee resemblance too.
I'll be doiung my double triangulated 4-link reare in october. But I'm not shoirtening the stock frame any. I'm plating the existing frame rails to make them stronger though.
