SICK PAINT JOB

No paint involved. It's a wrap job.

Some fab shop out in Hemet (not AP). I guess they usually do sand rails and a lot of Rhino work. This was their first exo. On the top in the rear is a built-in storage rack. The other interesting feature is the tubing is not painted, it is covered in clear coat. Also the cowl bar is removable. I'll try to get a few betters pics outside next time.

It's not my Runner. Brent bought it from Terry at All Pro about a year ago. Brent finished the little stuff and made it pretty. He had it listed in January, but decided to keep it after a successful run at the Hammers. 

I agree on the clear coat. My thought was the real chance of scratching it (and not realizing it) and the unprotected metal would rust. I am about ready to exo my Runner and it will be painted.

$1200 for the full cage??? thats pretty good, is it DOM or HREW ?  How much is that stuff going per foot???

[MR_DIY]

Not sure what type of tubing was used.  I am pricing tubing now for my exo. 1.75 DOM is running between $2.55 (out of stock) and $4 ish per foot. 1.75 HREW I found for $1.44 per foot.

He knows

[twistedtoy92]

nice!!! you could probably do a full cage on a single cab with like.... 100 feet??? does any one have any info on how much it took to do theirs?? maybe i'll do some measuring tonight!!  i feel safer in my cage!!!   

[toyotaguy55]

[toyotaexo]

approximately 160 feet for the Runner pictured. I am going to order 200 feet for my project. 

how about some pics of that storage rack

I'll try to get some better pics of it soon. 

BTW: The Runner (before the exo) is in the one of the 4X magazines with coverage of the All Pro event from 1-07.

[toyotaexo]

any trails ran with this runner? pics?

It was at the All Pro run to the Hammers (before the exo). I don't have any pictures but it was in CRAWL and 4 Wheel Drive magazines this past March. It is supposed to run again later this month on a night run to the Hammers. I'll try to take some pictures.

[bigarms23]

looks good i am not a fan of exo cages

[86turboyota]

im starting to think that im going to use this runner to base the design of my cage on.. this my favorite exo ive seen so far... if you could get some more pics that would be awsome.

[gtoyonrocks]

That is a really nice looking exo.

[Shoyrtt]

The exo did get a bit of a workout this weekend at the Hammers. The driver's side, rear of the exo did well, but the rear axle snapped.

Krawler's break parts pretty easily.

How does the "wrap" hold up? And is it complety smooth or is their some wrinkles here and their? Would you prehaps know much a wrap costs.

I don't know for sure but I hear they last for 3 or 4 years before they start to fade. I haven't noticed any wrinkles in it, but someone did "key it" in a parking lot which left some nasty marks on it.  I believe Brent paid around 1K for it.

 I can't believe he broke an axle. I ran Lower Big Johnson, the notch between Upper & Lower, Upper Big Johnson, and North Jack without breaking an axle. My rears are stock.

Krawlers, lots of lbs and Brent driving is the difference. Stock rears are pretty strong. Dave ran a whole season of comp on a set so have some of the formula toys. I am not convinced aftermarket does much better than stock for the rears.

The before and after shots on the exo plus all of the other weight he added are clear. The section where he broke was in a V notch about 300 yards up on Upper Big Johnson. I don't think he hammered it. I think he picked a bad line and wedged the pasenger side rear in an ugly spot.
