I like those brake lines. Would you ming telling me where i could get those ?So on today’s episode of Stop it. I have been running with just manual brakes and while they work. You really have to stand on them on steep declines . I have been collecting the parts to modernize this beast for a little while and floured it’s time to get it done . I have always been bothered by the hacked brake pedal also . While I am not opposed to cutting the fire wall rib I don’t want to hack this thing up . I had ordered a bracket from jT outfitters a while back and Cerakoted it. I finally got a 79-83 mini truck booster and the correct brake pedal so today is the day

So i like the hip guards but they do make it a little harder to get in and out . Also kinda a pain to open the door but not the end of the world . If this was not a Wheeler i do not think i would run them. but i feel confident that if the day ever comes that i flop this i will 100 percent be safe Now i hope that day never even comes close to happing . As of now the cage is Done . and can be pulled and PC

What size tube is that? Keep it up with the great welds!

2 inch
They look great, really nice welding.
But looking at the last picture I think the the bushings took all the strength out of the mount.
If the roll bar is applying pressure to the floor pushing down the bushing will allow the arm to just swing down on the bolt a pivot point just like the lower control arm in the same picture. JMHO
Now if it were reversed with the bushing mounted the plate on the bottom of the tub and hard welded to the frame it would be trying to shear the bolt under pressure instead of pivoting the arm down. and would have added the extra strength you were looking for.

I thought of that. I will take a pic with the slider on It will not allow the support to pivot .

There is really no way for anything to pivot
