Looks good Will

I was looking through your thread for ideas for my cage and did zach not put any lateral bracing in your B pillar?

He and I spent a long time talking that over. Due to how far back my seats needed to be mounted for me to be comfortable and how leaned back I had them, running one from B-pillar to B-pillar cross ways was going to intrude big time on head room.

We settled on running from the center of the overhead (what would be your b-hoop) and triangulating out to the base of the C-pillar. It's not ideal for sure, but I think more than sufficient.

Making some kind of cross bracing has always been on my list of things to do, but I haven't gotten around to it/been satisfied with any methods of running it. I have an idea now though that I think will look clean and add substantial strength so maybe this winter I will get around to it.

I've got drive flanges, just haven't assembled the front axle yet.

I'm already hunting for some. My lack of headlights made finding other non street lit jumps a little tricky

What happened to your sweet O'Rileys brand lights you bought at Harlan?

They're still in the box, that was boring work when I could be driving around having fun. It now has a full exhaust system, its wonderful.

Figure out the engine problems?

Post by **willhf1011** » Wed Dec 01, 2010 8:34 am

I believe it was the tps (or other sensor maybe) malfunctioning because it was seeing a steady 15 volts or whatever my alternator could put out since it wasn't kicking out. I replaced the battery and got the motor mount bolt to stop grounding out the voltage reg and it seemed to start working. I did wiggle a few of the sensors (tps, cps, O2) to check their connections and they all seemed good, but its possible that may have solved it and not fixing the alt.

What size tube did you use to make the rear cross member to mount your links to?

I am thinking the 1/8th wall 2x2 I got won't cut it
