It does look really cool like that. Wonder if it'd have more body roll/flex without the cage. Are you gonna drive it like that and find out?

I’ll only drive it if I need too! It does drive differently though. You can tell when any weight is lost.
Might do a drive. It’s a bit cool though. I already had to drive top off today in the rain.
️ people looking at you like your crazy. I just put my bug glasses on.

Build plan change! Put windshield down,mount 50 cal in back and grab some cans of od green!

Heck yeah might as well put the windshield down if you're gonna wear those!!

It's fun though once you get enough speed for the rain to go over the windshield
Went for a drive. It’s crazy how much silkier it feels with less weight. Really insane. I did not expect this much change! IDK how much the roll cage weighs, but whatever it is it’s significant. Put a grin on my face that’s hard to wipe off!
Boy, I really need to catch up on your build thread. I assume you went to Moab and put it on its lid, again?
I’ve got some projects for the Jeep planned once I get the windshield frame replaced and cage back in. Let’s stay in touch about date. Hope yours is going to all come together in next few weeks brother.
I'm at the mercy of parts coming back now.... Hopefully it won't be a long process.
Get the cage in and then you can scratch up your old windshield frame before installing the new one.... This is what mine looked like from rubbing on the trees.
End of June could work too...
Son getting married June 26, so that’s out for me.
I got that dent on my A pillar the first time I rolled.
got GR armor there now, so that’s coming off and getting moved over. As you know, lots of little things to fix.

Jeremy - Do you have more kids than the twins or is this one of the twins getting married?
Either way - Congrats!
What thickness of metal do you box the rear crossmember? Is that a standard mod on your builds? What is the thickness of the support at the lower corner?
Jeremy has like 27 kids…

OK we can plan for July then... Might even have my motorhome back by then too...
If I get the Jeep running before then I might haul it over to Reiter and do another shakedown run there. I doubt it'll be running before next weekend...
I have the windshield armor too but mine was from a vendor that isn't around anymore. I installed it after caving in both sides of my frame. Then I cracked my windshield from the rubbing on trees.
