    Could you Run a bar under the seat to tie the shock mounts together?

      I was gonna say the same maybe like a square beam

    • @edmartini9724
      @edmartini9724 8 месяцев назад +3

      I was thinking a formed rectangular beam. It could be pretty wide, maybe 8", and about an inch thick. It could start pretty high up on the shock mount.

      just typed the same thing out, then read your comment. That is how I would handle reinforcing those rear shock mounts

    Have finally put together a decent sandblasting rig and powdercoating setup in my garage after seeing you and Devin powdercoating over the years. I've been debating building an oven somewhere around 7'x7'x7'. Would be really cool to see how you would build it, so people like me could try to replicate it. Keep up the great work :)

  • @Tryhard_garage

    The patience and quality on the build are mind boggling. Quite talented.

    Can you not mount a bar half way up the rear shock mount kick it under the seat and back up to the same spot on the other side? Add two bar disconnect connectors like the front shock mounts and notch and weld it through the set bracket mounts. It would still let you remove the seat but give you the most support. It would gain you a support maybe 8-10" higher then the frame mounts? my $.02 Also freaking love the color of the roll cage!

    Warming the paint up in a bucket of hot water may help it flow smoother

  • @benjaminreinhardt259
    @benjaminreinhardt259 8 месяцев назад +2

    I would swap the rubber body mounts for aluminum pucks. That rigid mounts the frame and body together, making it easy to attach the shock towers to the cage. That is how it is done on second gen F-bodies (I have one out in the garage like that).

  • @bobbyrosa4652
    @bobbyrosa4652 8 месяцев назад +6

    Austin, couldn't you go underneath the seat & cross side to side. Tower to tower and you could tie the seat belt center straps to it as well. my $.02

  • @planeflyer21
    @planeflyer21 8 месяцев назад

    Thanks, Austin!
    IMO using a sandblasting shop is the way to go. Before you bring it back into the shop though, make sure to blow it out a hundred times outside. It's amazing how much sand/media can be held in joints.

  • @doyourbest7655
    @doyourbest7655 5 месяцев назад

    Looking for how the roll over frame is attached. Is it just through the sheet metal? I used a 1/4 x 6 “ backing plate the full length of the wheel wells. Aluminum because I don’t have the metal working shop you have. I just have the OEM frame. Elsewhere, For individual gauge panels I find aluminum is a whole lot easier to cut to fit the gauges and doesn’t oil can the way thin metal does. Just a thought

  • @bryanhunter3143
    @bryanhunter3143 8 месяцев назад

    Next time instead of going through the trouble of cutting and re-centering your body mounts for the roll cage, try getting a 4 ton porta power and spreading them back out, much easier, and a time saver, just make sure if you do this in the future to over bend slitley sonitnwill relax itself back in its normal postion. Ive been doing frame work for over 20yrs, teist me itll work and save you time. Remember, everything moves when heat is applied

  • @robertrandall7339

  • @williamhorn4290
    @williamhorn4290 8 месяцев назад

    Maybe do an integrated desing with a bar that ties both ahock towers and at the same timw functions as a head rest for the back passengers. That and a mount that's removable, similar to the one you made for the front, but that goes underneath the back seat.
    Btw I'm loving the project and I'm soo glad you went with the full resromod theme for this one, it's gona be a beast.

  • @devinpena10

    Between those two rear shock towers underneath the body can you put a crossmember that will stiffen up the frame from being able to twist from the force of the shocks

    • @austinniemela
      @austinniemela  8 месяцев назад +1

      It’s got 2 crossmembers there!

  • @larryleerssen2562

    Terrific build
    If after all your added strength to the build & the beautiful cage, something bad was to happen on the trail & it was bad enough to destroy this cage, I am sorry but I don't believe you would need to worry about your future. You have thought about everything.
    Great job

    It looks like it may be time to upgrade your oven with all you do. Look at the light armor 2x2x5. We use it for small batch work and all of our cerakoting as well. It's a legit oven.

    Austin, I see you use Fusion to draw your parts. My table runs Mach 3. I'm having issues with my cut becoming angled on arcs, but fine in one axis. I've looked around, do you know of a way to slow feed rates on arcs? Love the build. My older brother had a FJ many decades ago but Ohio salt got the better of it.

  • @Halfwheelhell
    @Halfwheelhell 8 месяцев назад

    in line with bracing the read shock mounts - you could remake the rear seat brackets to make the seat 2" taller to give you more room underneath for bracing? or maybe this reduces head room too much?

  • @Anders0nic
    @Anders0nic 8 месяцев назад

    I feel like you missed a great opportunity by not creating the rear seat frame as an integrated strut bar. Also, your front seat shoulder harness bar should be lowered. All racing regulations have this as a requirement. The shoulder straps should run up the back then roll over your shoulders down. This prevents torso movement in the vertical plane.
    Otherwise. Far better execution than my abilities currently. I am always encouraged by your willingness to just move forward and get it done. Keep it up!

    • @austinniemela
      @austinniemela  8 месяцев назад +3

      The upper straps should be 0-10 degrees, these are right about in the middle at 5 degrees down!

  • @robertrandall7339
    @robertrandall7339 8 месяцев назад

    You should run a bar under the rear seat to tie the 2 shock towers together and still run a bar behind it to add extra strength. It is a overkill.... better safe then sorry!!!

  • @pacificnorthwest9416
