everything but the beams! (daves got way more expereience there and for the price i couldnt go wrong). Ive been fabbing things for the last 4 years on the side for fun. Ive built a few rzr and rhino cages, bumpers for trucks, roof racks, put long travel on a few trucks, built 2 full desert race rhinos (back before the rzr became king), and a few other things here and there. This is the first full race desert truck ill be building and am not rushing it. gunna make it come out nice and dont wanna skimp corners

Lose that tree pack fast if you plan on racing 7200 son! Sell it off and link that SOB and get it out of the way so you dont have to do any changes later! Keep taking your time and do it right and once

haha well ill only be racing 7200 on the few courses i like of theirs as well as when i have the money, BITD rapes the smallers guys on trying to race in their series. So i wont be racing that competitvly. I do wanna race SNORE, MORE, and Whiplash 1450 though and should be alot of fun on the courses ive seen. Im really only wanting to go out there and race the desert, not the guys in my class. If you can beat the desert, generally you beat 3/4 of the field anyhow . Hell im building a dedicated ice chest in the truck so when she does break and i cant fix her ill jsut crack open a cold

Oh and the fact i have a 10K budget on this truck and buyin 2 more coilovers and 2 more bypass shocks would put me way over haha

works for me! it will make me get off my ass and put the sleeves in the knuckle monday then. maybe double shear it too. really need a damn pitman arm. who would ahve thought a stock 2wd powersteering pitman arm would be so hard to get!!

cage work is so time consuming, I cant wait to have it done

honestly its my favorite part! it jsut seems to make the whole truck come together plus i get to design it how ever id like (with a few stipulations) and gie the truck its unique look. I just think its so cool how you can take a straight peice of pipe, bend it, cope it, and weld it to make your own custom vehicle in a sense. Though it can be pretty time consuming

I agree with you about it being the fun part but it is time consuming and when you have limited cash and limited time it seems to drag on forever, that being said I made some progress on my cage today

no luck on a 2wd ranger pitman arm for ya either james. maybe the flagstaff yards, tho they are usually expensive.

god how i want a tube bender. the things i would build!
