Went up to my buddy Anders' place for a few hours on Sunday. We sorted out some of the cage fit-up, seat positioning, etc and put the axles under it so we could support it more safely and move it if need be.

Main pieces of the cage awaiting my arrival:



Metal Fusion Fab tube fender builder's kit:



Doors & windshield frame hung for cage test-fitting:



Front axle installed, stock fender installed to start fitting tube fender:



Rear axle installed:

Wow!! I've been slacking on this thread. This phase of the build-up took *much* longer than planned, but if all goes well I should be trailering it back home in a couple of weeks (I brought the rollcage home this past weekend).

Starting on the cage:



Tacking in the Metal Fusion Fab tube fender kit:





Re-centered HumVee wheels with Ballistic Fab rock rings:







Back on all fours with Shrockworks rockers installed:

Cutting out the wheelhouses & replacing with 'Jeep' trailer fenders:



More progress on the rear of the cage:



Cage back in & starting on the front, front bumper mounted to beef the winch mount:

Here's the tube flare pics (fiddling with the camera settings, so they're a bit over-exposed) from Friday's session.
