updates coming. Been working on an interior cage.

coming from the rock crawling world and ultra4 racing. RTI has little impact on vehicle capability. flex is needed...but too much flex can be a bad thing. the real test is compare a vehicle with open difs and a HUGE RTI number.......to a vehicle with lockers and a very low RTI. Lockers will...

I'm hoping to match the factory interior finish as close as possible. its a textured grey/black.

I got some motivation today after recently getting the buggy repairs finished. I wanted really big cup holders. The stainless tumbler is a RTIC 8ball it’s one of my favorite cups. Fits like a glove. I will make some foam inserts to better fit a beer. Hopefully tomorrow I can make...

thanks

i got a chance to make some more progress. got the lock mounted. I'm going to waterjet a new latch the one that came with it is not long enough i also got the inside finished...dont mind the safety loafers... i'm going to rubber line the interior to stop any rattling.

that looks rad. i like the rolling cover!!! some more progress, ran out of gas today. I'm pretty hapy how my tig welding has come along in this project. Heres a shot to show panel fitment prior to welding This has inspired me to make a few dollies for my vise.

i got to smash a few filler rods while my 2 year old naps.

3/8" amsteel orange. 65" per shackle.

Today I converted some random lengths of extra winch rope to some soft shackles. not sure what style i like better. the left or the right. the left seams to be the most popular with the winch rope companies. takes about 5 min per shackle. i don't know why i didn't to this before.

i started to weld and rad out of rod. Wasn't too bad welding .063" to 1/2" round bar. i need to go get some sanding pads to properly dress the welds and blend everything smooth. i am by no means a good or even decent tig welder, but i can definitely see an improvement from when i started...
