structural gaffer tape though lol once you get under the cab the chassis is on really good shape it literally drops from 3mm thick to 1mm in one foot

yeah it would be tragic to find out cluck resulting in a bent arm. but yeah they clear fine

and some more photos

that's one rear outrigger finished I have to start repairing the other side of the chassis before the next ion can go on

the cage is going to be built by JFT fabrications and no I'm going to skip the hassle with the mounts and just directly weld it to the outriggers

the sills will be fully welded to the body and to the outriggers

with 3mm plate plasma cutters and welding it will live again lol

it's a fun project I've got the tools the space and the time I've already plated up new 3mm behind the 6mm the chassis will be re plated

no it's a d2

an that is with the sill attached as well the outrigger needs to be 100mm at the chassis but my gas clyinder ran out so we arw getting there this was done with a 200 amp mig welder and that has done the job nicely so far when I was underneath welding away a droplet of weld landed down inside my...

also some puddle welds help to connect the plate not just around the outside edges but also in the centre to increase its strength and durability. l still need to weld on 6mm tops and bottoms to create that "C" shape.

hi all so I'm building up a discovery pickup to be the most awsome greenlaner but still be practical purpose hence the pickup and not a trayback bobtail. so it's getting a rollcage that will be compliant with msa bluebook standard. my outriggers are non-existent so I've had to fabricate my own...

true can't see it being a problem if I can't find a battery with a vent pipe I can just house it in a sealed plastic box with a vent pipe of its all

that is most of what's happening to the chassis also outriggers and spreader plates are being added for the roll cage hopefully they will be welded on this weekend. hopefully

I was also thinking about fitting the battery behind the cab

hello all my d2 pickup build is at the stage where the battery needs relocated as the arches are being heavily modified. the plan is to locate the battery behind the seats in its own little box. I've downloaded the various IVA pdf's and so far I can't see a problem after all the battery sits...

oh if you could take a picture of your outriggers on the front you would make my day here are some pics to explain the rough idea I'm thinking of putting the outrigger as close as I can to the body mount bracket . yeah I've got plenty of 6mm plate for the spreader plates. I need to lift off the...

hi all my d2 pickup build is at the stage where the additional outriggers are being drawn up and welded on it. the cage will comply with MSA bluebook standard so everything will be built from minimum 6mm wall box section steel. the build plan is to prepare the disco by welding on all the...

we have a pulse ! turns out we forgot to reconnect the key fob receiver. plugged that back in and she ran and by some miracle the bcu, ecu, and the wiring survived. thanks all for the help we got there in the end
