I do have to thank my job for 24/7 access to the fab shop. It by far exceeds my shop at home.

Yes that is a 1920's model A truck differential, I just finished a setup on.
Cold Saw, for precision cutting.
Other Stuff
24/7! Sweet. If I had access to all of that I don't think I'd come home much. I could get all kind of projects done and I'd probably be money ahead.
Some parts tacked in.
Nice to see it getting underway already.
What sort of material is that stock roll bar made of? Is it strong enough to become part of your exo?
hehe... I think the date in you camera is off...
'81 pickup, longbed bobbed short, 35" Yoko's and tons of other goodies. 4.7 gear T-case. NEW: 20r/22r hybrid motor!<br /><br /><br />I done ran into my baby and finally found my old blue jean<br />Well, I could tell that they was mine from the oil and the gasoline
That stock thing in question is metric, I have not measured its thickness but its around 3/32, but almost 2" diameter. When the other tubes are in, it really wont be an issue. It will all, tie into the exo cab hoop. Some of the stuff you see, tied into the stock rear bar, is old stuff, the new stuff is the raw steel. I will have to make another tube gate in the rear, I have an idea for that. Right now its work from rear to front. Portions will come back off for welding and painting as I go.
By the way that stock rear bar, has been in a couple of flops.
I'll get some shots this weekend when I roll it out of its berth and yes the date will be fixed.
Thats cool, I always wondered how those sock roll bars would hold up in a flop. I know I've seen the cages on wranglers collapse after a mild roll before.

Pics, still working the rear.
sweet!
I may have missed this earlier, but are you just planning on making your own bikini top for the back?

I have a soft top, and the wife will be making me a new one.
