Id say youre good for a while but id be careful because PVC becomes britle when it gets old. Not sure how long this takes. Neat idea though and it looks cool

out in the sun it gets brittle in a few years, not to the point that it would break in this application though, but fails epically when there is 130psi water sitting in it

Awesome idea for the axle shafts,maybe you can stuff some sort of foam blocks in the ends to keep them from banging into the ends.

Any update on the maxximus traxion kreapycrawlars?

due to the national shortage, i probably wont have a set until late fall

it was either they gave me a set of bighorns now, or i just waited it out for the creepy crawler stock

waitin it out!

theres still enough life in the STTs to use them this season without worry

Good call, I watched Dave shred a BigHorn sidewall on a dirt hill.

cage additions thoughts

for my final step of stiffening (after i straighten the front end unibody) i would like to complete the jeeps cage to the front

red bars are the existing a-pillar bars, transparent where they are behind the body/fender

yellow would be additional

cage 1:
typical engine cage, in jeepspeeds and similar. run a bar behind/in front of/through the firewall, NOT on top of the jeep visible (possible? havent looked at all closely, either way, a thought) and then forward across the bay, out of the front clip and into the bumper push bar. engine bars are mounted via bolt on flanges, to be removable.



cage 2: again, havent looked closely for clearance on this, just thoughts while i work. same bar off of the a-pillars to span the jeep, and then bars running down the inner fenders, mounting to the inside of the bumper face somewhere, flange mounted again.


cage 2 is less invasive and doesnt scream I HAVE A CAGE COMING OUT OF MY FRONT CLIP!!! ..id like to do it but need to assess the room for working it

You know how to use Miscrosoft paint?

[HeavyMetal]

actually.............no

[justtorchit]

i like option 1, any way to add a vertical bar down to the frame half way through? kinda hard to describe, and i dont feel like playing with paint right now

bar across the engine would be cool too

[Burton58]

i like the idea of bars going down the inside of the fenders if possible. that way when you crawl and lean into a tree it will save the fender as well as strengthen the front end
