The "Get Me By" MJ Truggy by cgmrdc

Finally got something done tonight since our wheelin trip this weekend was cancelled. Been a lapse is progress since nick came down to help. Had a big project at work over Memorial Day, the new truck needed some repairs/upgrades, and my GF graduated college so we've been busy job hunting and celebrating. But I did pick up a miller 252, so no more flux core!

I made some changes to the cage design. I picked up a set of front fenders a couple weeks ago and after mocking then up some ideas started flowing around on what to do with the cage to bring back some of the MJ look. I took out the center diamond and added a second roof halo. I feel it really helps bring back the shape of the MJs cab. I also changed the rear hoop to mitered corners and am going to build square LED tail light boxes to square off the rear. Just need to pick up a CJ tailgate to get the final dimensions. 

Then tonight I got the pieces me and nick bent up for the coolant lines/frame rails fit up and started the rear cross bar. 

Also picked up an AX15 from a TJ so the beast is goin back to manual! Which I'm super stoked about. The ol lady is getting inpatient with how long the build is taking so hopefully progress will continue to speed up!
