Even though a lot of other things have taken most of my time this weekend, I did manage to finish the cage almost completely. And so far I'm pleased with the result. Next job is to make connections from the chassis to the rear crossmember. As of now it's mostly held in by the cage. But as you can see the **** has been shortened a great deal

Got some more done this weekend, despite boiling in my own sweat with 32'Celsius and VERY high humidity!
Got the chassis tied into the rear crossmember and made a detachable sparewheel carrier that is held down with the Hi-lift in the upper end and fixed at two pivot points at the lower end so you can flip it backwards for ease of access to the ****. Also mounted a towing point, you just gotta have that The sparewheel is obviously mounted that far back for weight distribution. But what I have ended up building is actually something that looks a lot like an American Pre-Runner
Have stripped the engine bay and bonnet for un-necessities to get a better weight distribution, but still not satisfied. Might end up fitting a winch to the back, and/or filling the sparewheel with water Anyways My plan is to fit an extra passenger seat just behind the main hoop, as the seatbelt is still there, and so is the un-used space, so Might as well put it to use

You know how I said that I needed to shift some weight from the front to the back? Well today I moved the battery all the way to the back, sitting snugly between the rear crossmember and the tank, with the sparewheel above it. So nothing is gonna hurt it there.
On this picture you can also see the sparewheel carrier, and how it's detachable. Also notice I've fitted the "4.0 High Output" Badge again, just need to cut away the excess Sika when it's dried up

It's going to be a proper funbus when you are done Soren.
Is it getting a Diff Winch squeezed in the back too?

Thanks Rob, yeah I hope it's gonna be good and proper, and no it isn't going to sport a PTO Winch. The whole idea of this truck is low budget fun, as soon as you spend too much money on a vehicle you get scared of using it, and that isn't happening to this one!
But I don't mind spending a lot of time building it, its good practice, only real difference in this build and something I'd make really cool is the lack of finish, I don't grind any welds or round any corners to make it look good, because looking good is not what makes it work
Anyways, enough of my *****.
Got some more done this evening, reworked the exhaust and moved the silencer to the very back (again weight distribution, but it also makes it sound more deep) And removed the Cat. Now only need to do one more mount and its all done. Just didn't want to do anymore today

Got the final exhaust mount done, and some fenders slapped on, now it's definitely beginning to look complete

Today I installed the rear-seat I mentioned earlier. This is pretty much it, I haven't got anymore major upgrades planned for the Jeep at this point (remember its just a low budget toy) But maybe some of my other crazy ideas will spawn into something on this truck later on, only time will tell.
For the time-being there's hundreds of other projects eagerly awaiting my attention
