I thought about leaving the top on like that dudes, but I wanna chop the top. Plus the 3rd row won't have enough head room... BTW I got started on the bench seat bracket today pics to come!

 

Here's the start of this bench seat project! I should get 3"-4" of storage under it.

 

& another

 

Thats lookin real good man, your jeep has changed so much since the first time i saw it! Good work

 

Thanks bro! Its come a long way, just not fast enough!

 

I cannot wait to see what you end up with on that beast Ryan. Pirate 4X4 meets family wheeling, I like how your not afraid to think outside the box! Thoughts? You said the third row seat would require the chop due to headroom issues? Is it safe to assume the cage will step up in the rear to allow both headroom as well as protection? I ask this only because I know you have your "wife and kids outta the rig when it gets too hairy" policy and are always thinking safety. Also, are you still going to have room for your air tank?

 

I had to pull the tank & am in the process of looking for 2 small cylinders (12"x3") to go under the 2rd row seat! Yes the cage will be made with head room for an adult, cause the wife & kids all hate the get out of the truck policy. Lol thus the 3rd row & cage come tax season instead of the eaton I was planning on up front! Should be fun either way!

 

Excellent! You just had me a bit curious on what you were able to come up with on those two things. I'm glad to be one whos gotten to watch the transformation in person over the last two years (I feel we've both come pretty far since that first Lil Moab run) and look forward to watching more. Nice work!

 

Thanks good times for sure, I blame the forums! Haha when are you gonna start a build Jeff?

 

I've actually been thinking about it lately, I pretty much have pics from the whole thing, just a matter of the time to put it all together.

 

So do you have a tube bender then Ryan?

 

I have pipe bender that I'm gonna weld some pipe into the dies so I can bend tube... so ya sort of lol

 

Ha ha I'm gonna have to come up with somethin like that

 

Harbor freight has the pipe bender for cheap!

 

Looks sweet man can't wait to see the finished look.
