exact same stinger bar too

and i asked him how he mounted the front diff wether he outboarded the front hangers or not

Post by **roc box** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 4:31 pm

what can i say tim youre an inspiration to us all

i out boarded the hangers like you did and stretched the wheelbase out to 84in.i moved the whole spring assembly forward at the front and redrilled the back perches.it must bring back some good memories of youre old zook ay tim

theres just no keepin secrets around here is there ;)only difference between my bar work and tims is i did all my own work he bought his

as for the tech side its pretty similar to tims old rig except the 3/4 spoa in the rear

Okay I am not convinced, show us the welds on the front of the bar

It's okay to get something built if you have the cash, it wasn't bought off the shelf

I bought a dizzy cap off the shelf the other day. Was this not alright? Should I have made one?

people chill out, its just 1 persons opinion an a internet forum,
i just thing its cool when people make the efort to build stuff them self and try new ideas.

redzook dont be sorry, people arnt born with welding skills the learn them. as for tools cheap stick welder $100, cheap tube bender $300, hours of fun making shit for your and otherpeoples rigs.... priceless

Sorry if i offended any one by saying 1 rig was beter than another

Post by **derelict_frog** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 3:02 am

ah k so then it look like that will it?

Post by **superzuki** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 9:04 am

the roc box exo n bar looks way beter

jokes!! just wondering how did u mount the sliders?? are they welded directly to the chassis is the chassis plated or wat? pics??

as id imagine ther would be alot of force on them in a rollover.

how many different ways are there 2 make an exo cage.
im makin 1 4 my jimny soon and it will be similar. i.e 3 hoops and braces in roughly the same spots. its just a simple way 2 make a cage.

Does it really matter if the 2 cars look similar? (reminds me of my gf. "I cant believe she is waring the same thing as me" lol)

superzuki i think its welded 2 the chasis. Bolts are 2 weak

wasnt really commenting about the exo more the front bar

but i am only stirring rocbox anyways
just a lil fun

Post by **superzuki** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 2:53 pm

i asumed they were not just bolted on but is the tube just butted up to the chassis or is it welded to a plate and then welded to the chasis is there bracing on the mounts.....redzook or roc box if you have and pics of this would be apreciated... cheers

Post by **bozwon** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 4:42 pm

its welded to 6mm? plate then welded 2 the frame

Post by **roc box** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 9:31 am

its actually 10mm plate boz and yes its welded to the chassis then the tube is welded to the plate

yea red .. i know where your bar went too.
Roc may have copied such a nice designed bar.
But its not fitted RocBox's machine.
Your bar is fitted to mine.
