Not bad man, are you going to be able to see as low as that seat is sitting?

It looks low, but really it isn't... same height as the stock seat. I think it's the low-back of the Corbeau's that make it look like that.

Could be, maybe an optical illusion.  Just looks like the top of the headrest is equal with the steering wheel.

The steering wheel is all the way up which is why it looks that way(tilt steering) and it is pretty close to the top of the seat... however, my eye level is quite a bit higher than the top of the seat. These seats are not as tall as stock YJ seats.

Nice welding there Jimmy!  8)

Thank Caleb. Still no professional; But I'm getting better and am pleased with how this is turning out.

Yeah, but not everyone reading the thread knows it has tilt steering.  :P  I'm just saying the Corbeau's have an extremely low back, and the tilt steering is raised all the way up. I know that you know that I know you know it has tilt steering.

Are you going to Herculine it before you get the cage all secured in?

I have 2 sections of floor to replace first... but yes, that's the plan.

Cage is ready for the final welding on Saturday and then paint.


The body bars are in



Windshield profile -- couldn't have lined up any better.


Can't wait to paint the ugly a$$ tan dash to black until I gut it out.


The harness bar is lined up correctly behind the seat. Also have plenty of room behind the seats for adding seat sliders later... right now it's made to fit me!


Just finished putting in the bhoop X.


The bhoop X w/gussets from BTF added. Pay no attention to the sad little tacks (they'll hold till I get back at it with a real welder).. Due to time constraints... I had to do this part at home with my itty bitty hobby welder! LOL



Next pics I'll post up will be the finished installed painted product.

Looks badass jimmy, on your harness bar did you put it right at the slots in the seat or +/- a few inches up or down?

Thanks guys, it's been alot of work. I figure I was pretty fortunate when I rolled the Rubicon with it's stock cage, i really think the full doors help immensly, Since I'm not gonna have doors anymore... don't want to take any chances next time around.  8)

The center of the bar is about an inch below the seat slots... so pretty much right inline. Can't be subjecting myself to spinal compression by mounting it too low... I got enough back problems already!
