Turkey Rover

Put the cage on properly to start with







Finished up the upper link mount







Installed the cargo tray backsides. Had to wait until the body was off so I could finished other welding that this plate blocks







This is the blocked welding




Cage basket mounts for summer when the hardtop is off




Gussets on the rear cage mounts







Not super thrilled about the little tab but it's the best I could do. The body sits fairly close to the tube




Limit strap mounts, again had to finish other welding with the body off before I could mount these







Need to add 1 or 2 gussets to beef these up still

Naked Rover

Finished tacking up the front frame rails. Still need ~10 1.25" pass through tubes but it's getting closer.









Pulled the body off




Cage is just sitting in place



Cage is actually staggered back 2"




Need to gusset the rear cage mounts on the bumper still

Coolant Rez

Not much progress but it's one the last tidbits I needed to finish up before pulling the body to tig up the rest of the frame













Probably add an overflow tank just in case...

Working on a different design for the front upper link. It'll be moved to the passenger side and mount on top of the diff housing. Only issue getting the link long enough. I can squeak out 30" which is about what the lowers are. Trying to make it a little longer to get the pinion to rotate towards the t-case out put at all times... At the end of the day I'm sure I'll be making a compromise in order to get something done.
