Holy Hell man, you planning on dropping that thing out of a plane? That is a beast cage. Is it still street legal with the cage going right up the middle of the window? Time to test it out. ha ha

my last exoed xj had a windshield spreader bar and i never had a prob with the law. drove it like that for 2 years. im sure if you painted it slime green or something that would distract you they may say something.

The reason I asked was because I heard somewhere that if it blocks the windshield then it prevents you from being able to get out through there in case of a roll over. something like that.

Got the belly pan on. Sexy. Just need to trim the oil pan/tranny skid about 4 inches. It used to go over the cross member but now the crossmember is covered by the belly pan. Yea no more replacing crossmembers, I'm on # 5 right now.

So I shook her down yesterday at spring creek. I guess I grenaded my passenger warn hub before I started this project. I noticed it half way through the traiI had the front locked so I was in 3 wheel drive. She did surprisingly well for being 3 wheel drive. I can't wait to see her in 4 wheel!! As I got on the hwy to head home I had huge vibration coming from the rear driveshaft. Pulled over to check it out and I found 2/4 of my bolts for the sye gone and one about to fall off. We took off the rear d shaft and was hoping I could limp home in 1 wheel drive. No such luck she wanted to make a 90 degree turn if you let go of the steering wheel. So aaa to the rescue. She performed so well I am convinced that when it's locked and 4 wheel drive again she will be unstoppable!
