Nutley's Cage

Thanks for the compliments guys
Funny what a difference new tires and wheels makes on my pile.

Drew next is wheeling, carnage tomorrow, who wants to go
After that, I think a skid needs to take priority. Most likely going to source 2 3-speed skids and stick them together, then add support where I can fit it. After that, propane is leering its head, need to decide. Maybe some sort of fenders too. Shocks too short, need new seats tied to cage, the list goes on...

Wantatlc, thanks for the compliments on my fab work, i'm really not very experienced but practice makes perfect! The problem with me making safari doors is that I don't own a bender, so I don’t' have all the tools to make that product. Not to mention that I barley have the ability to feed and dress myself daily let alone take on a business venture

Looks sharp man. Where did you find those wheels? Are they reasonable? I'm looking for a trail spare setup and 17s are a little hard to find.

 

[bandy rooster]

looks great man!

i might have to fly out there and paint that damn thing for ya lol


what ya got planned next?

 

[bustanutley]

I got my rims from summit, they were $90 a piece and that was a custom order based on what backspacing I needed. They were lightning fast as usual, quoted me 2-4 weeks, came in under 2, great business they run there.

Brandy, read my last post for what I’m got planed, and paint isn't one of the :hillbilly But hey your more than welcome to come shoot paint on it

[2badfjs]

heck zack, i figured you woulda had your stinger and bib hoop welded up already........slacker

 

[bustanutley]

I can't decide if I want to use it, I don't know if I like the look

 

[2badfjs]

i cut my stinger down, i dont like the big honk'n kind,came out just about right.
prolly coulda been alittle shorter..

 

[camcruiser13]

no shorter i like it. good lenght.


wait that sounds pretty dirty

oh well

 

[usmcruiser]

What is the typical angle that you run a stinger at?

I would guess alot would have to go in to this because you dont want to kill your approach angle and not be able to climb a wall.

 

[bustanutley]

Well it turns out that priorities have gotten a little skewed since it looks like I’m going to be driving my cruiser to Moab Anyway grabbed some tube and headed to Ian’s, thanx again!

Shamelessly pirated design from poser, thax

Didn't work out as well as I had hoped but i think I have a game play now to get things finished up and me sitting where I want to be.

 

[DHONDAGOD]

looks way cool... how do you like the tires so far? driving impressions?

chris

 

[bustanutley]

Thanks Chris,

The IROKs kick butt. I air down to 6 psi and they hook up really well and flex well as well. On the road I run 12psi. I have 3 golf balls in each one and they seem to balance out pretty well. They aren’t that noisy and get rid of flat spots pretty quick. Longevity doesn’t look to be too great unfortunately.

 

[bandy rooster]

so is this going to be a stock rig?
