that looks sweet dude!

Here is some of Chris's work. I think every penny will be worth it if he does my cage.

Looks good.

I just talked to Chris and its a go...... So..... who would like to Trailer the Zuk to Crozet this weekend? There is a members only event there as well this weekend.

Spring MOR April 17th & 18th

[Pacifier]

This is the look that I'm shooting for on the cage, minus the lights.

Let the transformation begin.

Removed a few parts and dropped it off at the chop shop.

can't wait to see how it turns out!

Paint it Orange while your at it.

[Pacifier]

Believe it or not, I'm actually going to do that. The body, if any will remain bed lined black and the hood is going to be orange instead of red with a black stripe. :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Now I can be cool and bring the Zuk to car shows only in a trailer.

[Pacifier]

Here are some ideas of what my junk may look like after we're done..... :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Rock rail

With a fully (6 point) integrated cage that the seats will be mounted to.

Geezzz.... What have I done..... I've managed to destroy a perfect Zuk tub with no rust :tinysmile_twink_t2:

[H2_RECOVERY]

So this is what it will look like when your done?

Get any pics from Packard yet?

[Pacifier]

We are working on the design at the moment since I don't want to pay 2 times the cost of the entire vehicle for a cage :tinysmile_eyebrow_t I told him that $1500 is the most I'm willing to spend.

[blthomas]

I'd like to see his ideas. Be neat to watch the progress of it all.

[Pacifier]

Yeah.... I'm actually looking forward to the transformation of the vehicle, but I don't want the costs of a trail rig to get out of control. I learned that the last time with the Ruby.

[Pacifier]

It's a done deal... the Zuk will look similar to the pictures on the links provided by sometime next month. Now I can focus on a HD t-case and new Yota axles, lockers and 35's. I guess the engine will eventually have to go as well...... :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Then I can finally keep it garaged and go to car shows with mike. :tinysmile_twink_t2:

[Pacifier]

Picked up a set of seat belts today

[Flexxj90]

whatta ya know they match too!

Hope the deal went smooth. Evans a decent guy.
Dont chince on the Hardware go grade 8 or better ( dunno if any was included)

[Pacifier]

I'll have Chris hook something up with the seat belts. I may also buy his suspension seats. :)

Thanks for directing me his way.
