Re: My Build Thread (year+) on 71 Jimmy 4x4
Redneck Engineering or Epiphany?
Stock roll bar was blocking my swapped in Silverado buckets from reclining. Well since I was doing a family cage eventually, now is my chance to cut it in half and weld in a extension to make it wider, and fix the seat problem. Had a good couple inches it could grow before contacting the bed.
After I cut it in half and stripped the padding I started to notice it was eerily similar to the shape I was planning on for my tube doors. Bolt on some slam latches and strikers and whalla.
Test fit (sorry for crap cell pics)...think I found new doors for free, and the cage can start from scratch with frame mounts later
