Master-O-Turbonics Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Love it! This is the kind of work I enjoy doing (as a hobby). ;) This is a roll cage I did this year. Great build. Subscribed! Keep up the good work! Thanks! Here is a NASA legal cage I built for a SPEC E30 a month or two ago(for work) 4 Quote Link to comment

Master-O-Turbonics Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 FINALLY got back on this thing. Made a 60"x30" rectangle and attached it to the frame rails under the cab, raised 10" up. added tubes. Decided to do something a little different than the standard NASA road racing style cage. Wanted to follow the body lines and fit tight with the body. I'm not planning on dragging the body against rocks so I'm not to concerned with the tubes being outside the body. Just want to make sure I don't die if I flop it over. I'm about 90% done with the frame, and maybe 30% into the tube work so far. Awesome Jack stands. All of the lower frame rails are rectangular 2"x3"x.188" thick tubing, about 40' worth(BEEFY). All round is 1.75" X .120" thick DOM tubing, about 64' TOTAL is what I have ordered, and still have 1/3 of it left. 2 Quote Link to comment

Master-O-Turbonics Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 The front part of the hood needs to be a lot taller... so I don't know if that style scoop will help much. (RIGHT behind the hood latch it needs to be like 3" taller) I'm thinking of grafting in the hood bulge from a 1st generation Z car, having a Z motor and all... :-) 2 Quote Link to comment

Your worse than I am, my 520 project was on 4 different configured frames, but at least I wasn't making whole new frames like you are. :hmm: Just finish it to the point where you can drive it and see if what you have made works. I did have doubts that the SD22 would move the original setup, that is the very reason I took mine off the 4X4 frame and made it what it is today, a nice daily driver with just enough power to not make me crazy.

SD22 would be great for offroad in low range, but I had my serious doubts about any street driving after driving my seriously underpowered Samurai. Quote Link to comment
