    M1009 roll cage & rock slider build

    Rearward brace mounting configuration. Original design was to top of rear wheel weels, but I may want to remove those someday. So picked up the body mounts instead. Recall this is a brace, not the main load bearing element.

    I want a flat black painted CUCV (like the two that I saw on the way home from work)!

    I've seen a CUCV that was rhino-lined on the exterior. I am still thinking if I like it or not.

    M1009 roll cage & rock slider build

    The other thread pretty much ran it's course, so am starting another with the mechanics of the roll cage build. I'm liking that it's a custom fit to my truck rather than a pre-fab one size fits all. Though I would certainly take that over nothing. Here is Day 1 progress. Its 1-3/4 inch by 0.120...

    Maybe I heard wrong: I think he said 200 ft of tubing ?? My goodness. Maybe that was when we were still discussing caging the rear passenger area.

    Blazer to the Fabricator today Dropped off the Blazer today to start the roll cage fab: The fabricator convinced me not to go exo-cage. He would do it if I insist of course, but after discussing where I wheel, he suggested the external cage elements are "rock grabbers" and that I would be...

    Oh boy, the "experts" at work are already coming at me : "Exo-cage? Why on earth would you want to make a big truck even bigger??" Well, even with an exo-cage, its smaller than a Humveee, so there. <update> going with interior cage for technical reasons.

    We may have the case here where the cost of the safety equipment exceeds the value of the vehicle. That's OK: I have a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis, an oil change exceeds its value :)

    I'll make sure there is provision for 4 pt harness attachment. And I'll get some helmets. Now that I have embraced this idea, I'm all in.
