Welcome back Metto.
This is for real. You've missed a lot while you've been gone. Allow me to catch you up:
marty79: What do you all think about ___________?
NC4X4: well, we would probably do it like this _________ based on experience and collective knowledge.
marty79: Yeah, well, no.

Repeat.

Hey now, my yellow XJ surprised and surpassed everybody's expectations including mine and so far this one has done its share...who knows, Saturday might go full throttle on it see how long that hd44 makes it lol, we shall see.

Yup, mixed them up, my bad. I just want to see video of that 4.0 lugging up a hill.

Hopefully I'll get one this weekend.
(are you kidding me, that 4.0 laughs at a 2ton bahaha) nah, she runs strong all my jeeps I've had run strong. Should've seen my yellow Renix motor kicking ass in the mud bog vs all the newer "HO" motors and smaller tires and that xj wasn't light either!

@Blaze in all fairness those are usually the best ones to ride tho!! Lol I see a v8 in fullers near future to get up to carnival ride speeds tho!!

After axles, suspension and twin cases done, there is a big block in the blueprints, that is if my boss doesn't slip one of his charger HEMI in it (we have like 12 cars with harness and motors lol)

John, can you explain why you chose to put the windshield /\ bars going that way instead of the other, like this \/
Click to expand...
To be honest, I thought the way I did was the "better way" from memory..guess not. But still I didn't have another piece to go across bottom windshield pillars for braces to mount to so I did it this way. I don't see how the windshield braces are so wrong, both braces are carrying the force that would come down on top tube. Its my first cage attempt and well....it wouldn't be Fuller's jeep if it didn't have the Fuller touch I guess!

Almost...

only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. :D

consider load distribution. You have one straight tube supported in the center and by the ends, and you put a point load (little unrealistic, but easier on the math for engineering the cage) between the "center" support and end...calculate the strain on the bar at each joint.

Now, you have same bar, supported by the ends, and supported by two other points evenly distributed over the length (such that there is a supporting member each 1/4 length across the horizontal tube). Apply the same point load in the same place...Now calculate the strain on the bar at each joint. :popcorn:

Thank you but you lost me. I don't read well and comprehend. Being honest so no offense on your help.

He's right. Definitely consider load distribution.
Yup. 40 years old and never knocked a chick up.
Wait we're talking about pulling out for birth control aren't we?

Just wanted to mention you aren't/wouldn't be the first lol. Everyone does at me/my stuff but that's the beauty of living free and not caring about everyone else's opinions, no offense at all btw.
Weather you and others believe me, I've learned A TON from people here, seriously, but just doesn't make it in the physical on my rig mostly due to my budget on my rig. My rig gets the pocket change budget lol or side jobs only BUT I also am not the kind of guy that will wait and wait to build something till I have the money to do it "right" or "100% proper". I am very determined person, despite my limitations, so what you see in my rigs is my determination to enjoy this sport just like everyone else and be as safe and cautious with it while working with what I have. Well that's all I got!
