70 is looking good. You're smoking through the build

[DMcCready]

looking good man. You planning on linking your rear protection tubes up to a bumper or just runnning a bar underneath to the chassis?

Yeah making a rear tube bar probably to link the side bars to an some fuel tank protection.
Will be bolting the side bars to the body but not attaching them to the cage itself so the whole rear end bar work will be removable.
just got back from the wairarapa/coast trip so will head into work soon an make a start

[Fakey]

Made a start on the rear bumper an side bars









Roll cage tie in plates


Right side (stupid fuel filler door )




Chequer plate welded in, still got to add some more to the corners under the quarter panels




newish 37"s




Fat ass




Stinger

when you came and seen me tonight and told me about it i was like cool but now damn thats sick!!! good job going to take you places! cant wait to see it out

[Lynx]

looking good man, keep it up. And #### your flying through this build, do you hate cheese?

[chevrolux]

so general consensus on welded bends? you would use them for front/rear bars but not for the main hoop of the cage? just wondering as I have just built a cage for my suzuki but hate what the bender does to the big pipe when you squeeze it to a 90 degree bend.

[MNC]

...do you hate cheese?

Hu, ? Am I just slow? I dont get it?

if your using mild steel for the cage give it some pre heating where you are goin to bend not red hot but hot enough to not hold

[Fakey]

Not sure what lynx is on about with cheese

Nah wouldnt use weld in bends for something structural like hoops on a cage I only tried them out on the rear bar cos the bender wont bend tight enough to get around the rear quarter panels.
Got some pics up in the last post of the right side bars an chequer plate welded into the rear bar

[Lynx]

Cheese, good things take time.


sigh.

[Fakey]

Right here for a good time not a long time

Same width as the avarage patrol with 10" rims might measure tommorow

[Fakey]

Time for an update been busy as usual doing all the little things no one gives a 2nd thought or fark about like rebuilding the front diff/brakes, wiring up the fan an other things. Also got made a start on the front bar work an winch plate, still undecided wether to go with synthetic or wire rope so havent cut a hole for the fairlead.
Pics:
Front end rebuild, new lsd diff head, bearings, seals, etc

Modded the kingpins to accept small grease nipples

Shiny rekitted calipers

Front bar started, winch plate is 4mm thick

Started on the front guards tonight pics are shit cos the light was bad



Finished the basic design of the front tube guards, still hadnt decided how I wanted them to look till I started kinking them up but they turned out pretty good




Also had a few goodies turn up from trail gear, only took 5 working days to turn

[Fakey]

Been meaning to take some pics of the 13bt pistons after the rings decided they werent keen on being in their grooves anymore

Wheels looking good dude.

What length beadlock bolts did you use? And are you running tubes?

I've had a pr!rk of a time trying to do up beadlock rim onto a 40" Bogger - got half way round and gave up Thinking about getting some longer bolts as I assume it is because of the sidewall thickness...

Different tyres have different bead thicknesses and swaper beads are fawkin thick. Beadlocks are generally set up for one brand of tyre
