Nice! They cleaned up well.
I agree on the harnesses. Something I should consider down the road but I need the cage first.

I rode in Des's TJ up that cliff at Turtle Ridge before I did it in Gruff and we used the harnesses for it. They're really nice for holding you in place in those situations where the factory belts let you flop around.
Thanks!
Honestly, I should have done the harness bar when I did the cage. What cage are you going with?
Thanks. I'm anxious to get these in.
Thanks. Yep, lots to do for next year. You're gonna need to start a rebuild thread here soon

I have 5 point harnesses on two of my rigs...but I almost never use the submarine belt, and usually go 3 point most of the time, until I’m on an obstacle the feels better clicking in the extra shoulder belt. My next rig I’m going only 4 point...and leave out the submarine slot in the seat...

Not yet. They will be ordered by end of October. Once TN is done and another trip I have at the end of October. Right now I’m fighting my exhaust flange bolts while I wait to get this electrical fixed. I was just noting Jerry has lots of goodies lined up and making me jealous

Not yet. Not sure what he's waiting for.
LOL, true!
That's my thinking. I'm more interested in keeping everyone inside the Jeep in slow speed situations, not really needing the crotch belt.
LOL, Axle. Nope, not yet. Starting with the coilovers first. Then maybe axle next. That's the really expensive part cause I gotta get wheels too :rolleyes2:

I was planning on doing the EVO cage, but it’s out of production for now I guess. I hope the build more or something different by spring or I’m going to have to go in a different direction

Really?! Surprising but I guess JK's are old hat now that the JL's and JLT's need parts. Don't like the RH cage?

I do, just being a damn architect and obsessing about every detail, I like the square tube better. Looks more built in verses added on. I really do like the rock hard and if by spring the evo is not coming back, I’ll probably go that route.

Makes sense. I do like how the RH matches the round factory bars though. The dash bar takes some getting used to but overall I'm pleased with it.
Yes I have dibs on that as well
LOL, sorrry - front's staying. For now at least.
