so in the spirit of Jay Dub and josh I'm going to do the slowest cage build right up known to man :lildevil:
using top secret materials and parts no one has ever heard about :avid:
for version 1.0 I initially started with an invisible adamantium material very light extremely strong but as you can clearly see I didn't like the look :bs:

so for now it's back to the drawing board
version 2.5 will be loosely based on a T-200 combat chassis
stand by

OH....I heard about that stuff. The government doesn't want us to know about it. I think it's one of those....conspiracies. Must be that fiber optic stuff makin in invisible. In my opinion....it's alien technology.

hahahaha

Sold my Rock Hard cage today. I guess I probably should not put any photos or design ideas for my new cage up though. Seems there is an unofficial slowest build contest now....

after a lot of hard work i ended up with this

I may attempt to weld it to something but then again maybe not
I think I'll just wait for JayDub to make his next move before I continue
I would hate to loose the slow build battle :sleeping:

I ordered mine Monday. It was $175 and comes with a free battery box. The frame pieces were $125. I found their # under misc on PBB. There are pics of it under stretch it. I went by Ross' Sunday and that rig is just sick. He said the jimmys 4x4 mount wasn't built good. The holes didn't line up right, etc. Plus I prefer the looks of ATX's mount. I believe it's page 8-10 on his build where it shows the mount ATX sells. Here's their number (806) 674-0383

On my iPhone or I'd post pics.

Murphy, are you saying that you've found a pre-bent seat cradle? If so, please share the find as this is something I also want to do, but without a bender (or someone near with one), I thought I would be waiting a little while.

Thanks.

do they have rubber liner inserts for the fuel tank hold down to cut down on squeaks and wear?
