Dude this is awsome! I built a cage for my rc4wd hilux and just eyeballed it. I had the exact same perspective, it isnt a comp crawler its just something cool. I really appreciate your down to earth attitude towards just having fun with building and stuff that looks cool. 👌
Dude! Great work! Im on board with doing things that we want and not necessarily for performance. I don't always measure either but one thing I did that makes life so much easier is welding two sticks side by side only at the ends. that way when I ben them I get two for one and its an exact mirror on the other side. It speeds up the process a ton and gives you more time for the fun detail stuff! New sub here!
Great video. Thanks for making it. When you go to bend your metal, it’ll save your hands and give you a lot more leverage if you put the rod into some type of pipe and use it as torque. Can’t wait to try this!
This is great. I wish I had the time and means to learn welding and cage work. These are my favorite rigs to come across on the trails and at beat the creek.
congrats on being monetized, definitely pretty cool to see your channel growing, and cant wait to see what in store. cage looks really good. like you said who cares if its not perfect, still looks good, and better than what i could do, but going to try again on my toyota body. have a great Christmas if you celebrate it, if not have a great rest of the year.
If you heat the rod with a torch and then do your bend it will make it easier :) Just sit a Bucket of water next to you and quench it once you get the bend. It doesn't take much heat to make the metal easier to bend
Can you show how you fasten exocage to body? I’m wanting to build my first on on a tf2 body. Don’t want to weld to frame. Love your work My style. Forget measuring tapes lol
On this one I made it so I can get the battery in and out from the bottom since it doesnt have full sliders. I have the body bolted to the cage and the cage bolted to the frame. 4 bolts out and I can have it off to fix or service.
