Title: ZJ Cage
Post by: calvynandhobbs on February 16, 2009, 09:37:37 PM

Rich, here is the next level of your rig. Tim, in my club back in Michigan is building a cage for his ZJ this winter and it looks pretty sick. You'll see all of his hand controls and stuff since he is paralized from the waist down, but he has built most of his rig himself.

would be really cool if mine wasnt a daily driver.  Maybe in a few years after we get another vehicle.  Really cool tube work though.

Seriously?  You have 3 running vehicles!!!  What's the problem?  Scott has a bender and a welder.  I've heard he works for beer and FJ parts.   ;D

It may get to the point of trail rig here in about 4 months when my wife is done with school but for now its my daily driver so...

I refuse to drive that damn van daily and my wife drives to far to school to take the van so I still need the jeep 2-3 days a week for now.  But when school is over who knows....The Magnum will be mine and the jeep will get nasty....hopefully...

Well, look on the bright side.  Since you're going down to Mississippi, you won't need them!   ;)

That's awesome!!!  Although I can't believe he's still running the ifs with 37's.  Probably has a lot of upgrades in it to keep it from breaking, if you can even really do that with ifs.
