Some progress again, finished all the cage tie ins. The cage now sandwiches the body and then ties into the frame with rubber isolation bushing I got from summit. Very much like a track bar or leaf spring bushing. All 8 points of the cage are tied into bushings that
then go down to the frame. The engine cage mounts directly to the frame so it can be used for shock mounts. Total of 10 points of cage tie ins.
The spare tire assembly is also installed, it swings out from the inside to allow me access to the inside but not have to have the
tire on the outside of the body. All my supplies fit nicely on the inside and I have an old gas can I plan to turn into a tool box.
Next step is to rebuild the front axle Powerloc clutch kit and reseal the rear end. Soon to be onto the body work and bed liner. Of
course first I have to pull the cage back out and paint it.
