and heres behind the patch in the wheel-well, i had to reinforce the area with angle because this is where the body mount tied in. you won't even notice it after its painted.

i got both new diff covers on, but if anyone remembers at clayton my front arb locker stoped working instead of the compressor locking the arb it was just blowing air out of the axle breather tube. So when i took the cover off i tested it again, their were no obvious breaks or cracks in the copper line that runs from the diff housing to the arb, to the best of my knowlege the air leak seems to be comming from the internals of the arb itself. ANY ONE KNOW?? I didn't want to screw with it so i just put the cover on and added fluid, i guess i'll send the axle out to someone who knows what their doing when i do spring over, anyways heres pics.

the stock rear cover weighed 3 pounds the replacement 19 lbs. the stock front cover weighed 2 lbs the replacement 9 lbs. I'm sure clayton can find a way to hurt these but at the very least i think they can stop 47.

dash bar and bar behind the seat. if that is what your asking anyways.Originally Posted by uglyota
He's meaning something diagonal from the bottom to the top. Horizontal bars probably don't help nearly as something diagonal.Originally Posted by 85cj7

its a trail cage with interior access in mind. there are tons of them out there just like it. its a one roll deal. your probably still alive, now replace it.
in a future build it will be gusseted, door bars added, diagonals behind the seats, and seat mounts integrated. the key word there is future however
