here's a little toy me and my best friend have been building for the last couple of weeks
started because he bought 2 old utes one HJ other HZ.
the HZ is in good condition other than the dead 173 and will hopefully be done up later this year, some time next year
but the HJ body was full of rust the floor was that bad that you could Flintstone it
we did have someone tell us that we would NOT be able to do it because apparently HJ's do NOT have a full chassis but we proved them wrong.

after the body was off.

start of the cage

seat mount bars in

first seat in.

i'll try and get more pictures of the beast tomorrow.

Haha that an awesome use of a knackered ute. Whoever said the hj didn't have a full chassis should be shot...... If I had a paddock, my old ute quite possibly could've looked like that.... Just with two more cylinders.

 

[White Tiger]

the two more cylinders will come when funds allow or the 173 dies
and the not a full chassis thing was funny because everyone else new it was and he still denied it until we proved it

Love it. Keep posting those pix

That cage has no angled cross bars, Wouldn't stand up too well to a roll over, or a hit...

Apart from that, I'd suggest something to protect legs/feet... Last thing you want is to be stabbed with a tree!

Wow that looks un-safe lol and awesome! Haha

As hozy said, chuck some more protection around the frame and maybe harnesses, not regular seat belts haha

Aww now come on boys, where's the thrill in that???

 

[*uwishn*]

cool wtf looks like good fun lol

Aww now come on boys, where's the thrill in that???

Doing flips an **** = Thrill

Not having a cage that can stop the flip from ending badly = TREE INSTALLED IN YOUR LEG!

Yeah, it's still fun, the girls love battle scars, didn't you know??
