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

the roc box exo n bar looks way beter

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

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.
