I'm 6'3" and from experience i would hate that cage. Mainly the front hoop because it comes down and crowds your leg and foot room. It is possible to come down to the dash and then switch to plate to aleviate the foot/leg room problem. Very similar to the way some cages are on a TJ when the tube stops at the dash and then converts to plate and follows down beside the dash. Nice shop :)

Looks awesome!

I've always loved those old jeeps. Three problems: I'm 6'4" (I didn't know you could move the seat back like that though), everyone else wants one and prices are a little nuts, and around here these old jeeps are so rusty you'd be lucky if it doesn't break into multiple pieces on the first bump.

[@turbocobra]

Yea same for this guy, he is 6'2 and it was really uncomfortable for him. Its small for sure. And yes, other folks have said these are all rusted out most of the time... this one is in really nice shape over all

[@stevenbaca3470]

Are you going to notch the other side so that the front seats are equal setback? That and the the lack of tube at the top of the rest hoops looks kind of ?

[@MrJeep75]

That thing looks like a jungle gym

[@billlangdon193]

Nice work. Them old jeeps are fun on their wheels but not so much on their tops. Roll cage is sure going to make it safer. I have to agree on the fuel tank placement with some other viewers. I would move it underneath with a skid plate. Not only safer but comfort also.

[@turbocobra]

Thanks Bill!

[@edstransitscott9186]

Nice

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

Dude, it’s a roll cage. Plug weld it

[@oldschool6345]

Like the screens for the kiddies in the back. Was that part of the kit or your addition? Thanks for sharing

[@turbocobra]

Those are Molle plates and I sketched those up and cut them on the cnc table and welded them on.

[@oldschool6345]

@@turbocobra good addition for riding the kids around the farm. Looks good

[@jasonrockley1054]

Was he ok with you drilling 6 holes in the wrong place o the back 🤣😃😄 good work gr8 video

[@turbocobra]

lol, I offered to weld them up, or make some stainless plates to cover it with his family name on it, so we will come up with something for it. I have already done some other little plates on it!

[@jasonrockley1054]

@@turbocobra looked spot on mate nice to see an insite to all the different jobs you do

[@EZ_shop]

Very cool project. Why did you choose to TIG it, rather than MIG it?

[@turbocobra]

I tig weld everything I can. Most roll cages in race cars and competitive vehicles are tig welded

[@johngrossen7957]

Pretty weak by mounting only to the body? We always used brackets under the body and attached to the FRAME of the vehicle. Certainly better than an old rusty body for mounting a cage. After all, it is YOUR head it's protecting!

[@MrJeep75]

Damn front of roll bar are in the way of your feet

[@DiegosDeligt]

What type of professional do I look for when it comes to this type of work?

[@bryco32]

Any race car shop can handle this..

[@jayachandranramachandran4111]

nice job but the fuel tank looking ugly

[@MrJeep75]

I wouldn't of done that

[@MrJeep75]

Totally fuck that jeep
