This is coming along nicely! Nice work.

I do like the grill....What paint did you use for that? I am tempted to paint my grill black and like the look of this....

thanks! i used tough liner. used an undercoating spray gun for application. should get a lot more work on the cage done tonight.

Wow! Looks good! Can't wait to see finished

thanks man! I still need to clean up the welds and have a couple brackets welded on before its completely ready to start prepping for paint. im also going to try to figure out how to mount the trektop brackets on there to see if the top will fit. worst case ill just have to run the bikini top and a wind jammer and leave the back open.

• ATX Chamber Pro II Bead Lock Wheels 20x9

Those are all the major components I have planned so far. There will be other accessories and what not (i.e. off road lighting, rocker panels, etc..) Right now I'm holding on pulling the roll cage to finish it off with paint and all that because I'm missing a tube. Not sure if I lost it or if it fell out of the box during delivery so I have to order a replacement and have it welded in before I pull the cage for prep/paint. Genright is charging me $85 for this part BTW which I kinda feel like is BS considering I paid $2500 for the kit and it took them damn near two months to ship. Granted I may be at fault for losing it somewhere but I just think when someone drops that kind of coin on a brand new product, it would be a nice gesture to send a replacement as a thank you for spending a shit load of money on our said companies product. But maybe thats just me...

Very nice build brother.

I love the color - orange and black, kind of partial to that color scheme.... the cage is seriously diesel. Awesome Jeep.
 
Sounds like a solid list. Kinda weird they couldn't hook you up with a piece of pipe that may have been lost or not included.

yeah I called them and they were like "yeah we'll get it right out to you and figure out what happened" then a couple days later I get a call back with "hey it was sent on our end so we'll have to charge you $85 for the pipe". the box was damaged but I didnt think to go through every single piece to account for everything. In all fairness it could have slid out of the Jeep when I took everything to get welded (I highly doubt but anything is possible). I just figure after dropping that much coin they could eat the $80 and send me a replacement. Its a nominal amount considering its a $2500 cage but still just lets me know how far they are willing to go for customer satisfaction.
