Spend a little more and buy a quality air hose. Harbor freight air lines crack and began to leak after a while

How do u like those rock lights?  I've heard people complain there not bright enough.

[Jakesteads [OP]]

so far i like them tomorrow i am gonna pull them into my pitch dark garage and test them out.... i know people don like the multi color ones cause they arnt too bright but i think if u get a single color your good

[PhantomD aka Zach]

I have seen his setup in person (he is my neighbor) and they will work just fine, not super bright but easily bright enough.

ROLL CAGE IS IN!!!!!!!!!!!

i need padding anyone know where to get some? by say... this weekend?

i went at it hardcore today and got it done.




here is where i had to add a sleeve its super lame ill prob end up welding it but it will save my life im sure...


how it looks on the floor



its an all pro cage..... i plan on adding a dash bar and a harness bar in the future.

schweet...
Shouldn't the front legs be a few more inches forward? It looks like you'll trip over them getting in/out.

As for padding, check out Home Depot for pipe insulation or something like that; closed cell foam stuff.

[Dingman.]

Do you hit the cage when you go to lean back into the seat?

[Jakesteads [OP]]

it hits but i can lean it back far past the way i sit so its good... it hits the crank handle... i wanna get rid of the seats for some corbeaus...

[PhantomD aka Zach]

i wanna get rid of the seats for some corbeaus...

if you are thinking about the baja SS seats I dont know how well they would fit... I have a set in the jeep if you want to give them a test fitting.

-Zach

[Jakesteads [OP]]

ya that is what i was thinking... you think they will be too wide? its mainly when i lean back far that they hit... but a fixed back should work

[85_4RNR]

These are some corbeau Baja SS in my 4runner. I love them. Except, the previous owner made it so they cant go back and forth. no problem for me but short people cant drive my truck.

the way all pro did their setup is that the cage fits on 2 flat spots in the cab it works out all most perfect... and its not too hard to get in the truck... i need padding for this weekend im gonna check out the pipe insulation from HD like you said i know jegs sells it for pretty cheap. its about 2" from my head so u might be boned on an interior cage

[85_4RNR]

I really really like the tweed ones but they wouldnt match my interior at all.

[wakkjobb]

It's about 2" from my head so you might be boned with an interior cage.

Yeah... I'm going to eventually go exo; here's hoping for Powerball!!

Dood wear a helmet when you drive this thing please. The main hoop bar is wayyy too close to your head.

ya i agree with that that is why im getting some padding for sure i can see the roll not killing me but the roll bar lol

[Jakesteads [OP]]

temp. padding for this weekend its pip insulator and it will work but i want real padding.....



my ghetto gauge setup since i had to take them off of the a pillar mount.... i am going to get some roll bar mounts for them




PS i promise to get some wheeling pictures this weekend.... should be about to figure out my bump stops and see how bad my stuff rubs lol

i am honestly thinking this summer selling my yota axles and getting a D44 and a d60 and swapping them in for the width.... maybe doing a d60 if cash permits it.

[Yota-Freak]

i love the e-tape on the gauges dude

[Jakesteads [OP]]

ya when i get paid i am going to order me some mounts kinda ghetto but the a pillar mounts were just hanging there lol

[wakkjobb]

Ha ha, your truck is padded... could call it the Loony Bin now!

I might have some tubing ling around for make-shift bump stops; I'll poke around and see what I can find.

Where do you want to go tomorrow?

>>Dan

[Jakesteads [OP]]

i have some 1 3/4 tube i bought i just need a welder and a flat piece to make the pad... natalie isnt going she has to work so i got an open seat if someone wants to ride with me

do u have aol aim? if so aim me im jakesteads on there

[joey0712]

Why didnt i get my post deleted? You never answered my question.

[Jakesteads [OP]]

because go cry in a i hate trail-gear thread not in mine unless u contribute to mine stay out of it... we have enough e-cry babies on here

[joey0712]

I wasnt hating on trail gear i was only asking a question.

[Jakesteads [OP]]

found a few things to mess with today on my truck...

i did the old jack up one side to check how my truck was flexing well my front shackle since it is straight up does no move, only the springs flex lol...

my solution for this is going to be get the main leaf from a rear and just swap the 2 mains, should stretch the front but also keep the decent alcan springs up front...

the springs them self are not long enough thats the problem they are stock length with 5" of lift.... super lame

I also for sure have a broken Motor Mount, they are aftermarket advanced adapters ones and i think i am just going to make totally new one rather than buy replacements, i was thinking DOM style tubular ones.

I saw marlins ftoy mounts and really liked that idea i might make some similar

[wakkjobb]

I want to see where your rock lights are; I have those 2 cheapie "fog" lights to work with for my rig.
