Progress on my new cage! DONE....finally...

[trlblazr]

I like it. Keep it up

Looks good....Very well done.
When are you going to start on mine??;D
I hope you don't have to try it out in Moab.

 

[Hors'nround]

Well done. I like the gussets and the center windshield bar coming down. Overall it has a 'Bad A$$' appearance.

You couldn't afford it.....we've got way more time in this thing than we thought we would....

 

[jvanausdall]

Are you mounting to the frame?

 

[firehawk]

It looks good and should be plenty strong. It is pretty much what I will be building in the next couple weeks.

Question for ya, could you give me some measurements from the floor up to the bottom of the cross tubes.

I am about to start mine and would like to keep it low enough for a soft or possible a hard top to fit, even though I dont own either.

Thanks.

you can never get too many compliments buddy. that cage is kickass looking. its something i'd like to do on mine. keep the pics coming. i cant wait to see it painted with everything bolted down to it. seats, etc.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

I'm liking the "A" frame behind the seats. Tough looking cage .

 

[smoked77]

Yeah, I'll tie it to the frame...probably this winter. For now, I just want to get it back out!

Like I said earlier in this thread, it fits under a hardtop...it literally touches the cross support on the hardtop. I was told if it fit under a hard top, it would fit under a soft top....I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!

I'll get measurements tonight.

 

[smoked77]

Seat/seatbelt mounts are done. Working on cleaning up welds tonight. Paint and install this weekend.

Pictures soon....

 

[smoked77]

yep...my garage is a f'in mess...I know. Anyway, a few pics with seat mounts, seatbelt mounts, and fire extinguisher mounts. Final paint saturday and install sunday.

Very nice cage. I had thought of making one with that design of the main bar going from the front floor up and around the rear and back down to the front. What stopped me was tubing length. The longest I can get hare is 20'. Were you able to do that in 1 piece, and if so how long was it?

 

[Tito]

Sweet cage man! Ohh that looks like fun bending up some tube!!!

 

[smoked77]

6 cans of paint and my fingers hurt from holding the stupid button on the cans......all painted up and nowhere to go...

I can't wait to get this in tomorrow and see how it looks finished!!! ;D

They are 20' lengths. As much as I'd like to say the hoop is 1 piece, it's 3. Behind the b-pillar, you can see a weld in some of the early pictures. We used 1-3/4" to sleeve it. I ground the welds down before paint to make it look like 1

 

[smoked77]

Well, it's finally in. I have some more work to do on wiring, need to put some front bump stops in cuz the tires rub the sharp inner fender edges, and need to figure out why my engine still runs like crap.

On the positive side, its painted, bolted in, and I think looks awesome.

Let me know what you all think!!!

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Schaweet ! That is a sharp truck you got there.

 

[SC74]

That looks awesome! Great fab work on the cage - I stole a few ideas to use on mine.

That cage really looks good. Your entire Bronco looks great. Didnt you say that you have had that Bronco for a long time? What color is that on her, my buddy is looking to go with a similar color on his?
