I have plenty of things to fix on my new EB, but that doesn't mean I can't daydream about what I'm going to do to it once i have more money and have all the little stuff out of the way. I plan on driving it to work a few days a week, and using as a camping/beach/moderate trail rig.
So, safety is a concern, both for me and whatever passengers I have, but I still want to go doorless. How many of you go doorless on the road and what you do to protect your legs/torso in the event of being t-boned? I have doodled a few ideas but I thought I would learn from others mistakes/successes before I drew up a final plan.
A couple other things I want to do first that I have to consider are:
-Drop driver side floor panel so that my head is more inside the cage (i have been admiring rajincajin's handiwork)
-Rock Sliders using square tubing, tied to frame.
-tie cage to frame
-possible body lift
I thought about tying a door between the cage and the sliders, but that's a lot of steel. That and other options all end up looking something like a partial exo-cage. The most simple is just a u-shaped HD steel tube that comes about half way up where the door would be. Pain in the ass to climb over though. hmmm%)
