    How many times you planning on rolling that thing? That’s a lot of tube lol.

    • @kg4gav
      @kg4gav 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I think it is "How many times are you planning to survive the roll" vs "How many times are you planning on rolling". I think he plans to roll all the way down. Unless Matt pulls the banana in the way to stop him!

    • @jasonh4167
      @jasonh4167 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      There's a lot of weight in the drivetrain so if it lands upside-down it won't crush. Worst case survival.

      Years of welding and wheeling says this man knows what he's doin.

    • @Druid_Plow
      @Druid_Plow 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@jakep5121 I have no doubt that you're correct about that, and most of this cage does serve a genuine purpose in a worst case scenario. but things like those 2 extra angles behind the front seats and a lot of what's on the roof are superfluous. I would say redundancy is the only purpose for a lot of them.

    • @rickrowe3903

    When you build a roll cage that you can drop a building on...that’s Fab Rats! Probably could also double as a kid’s jungle gym! Will be sad time to see Papa Dar’s jeep not in the shop, but can’t wait to see it flexing on the trail!

  • @ljoffe
    @ljoffe 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The cage looks awesome. You have to include a bar behind the front seats that goes from behind drivers head to behind passenger seat. Then a bar straight across between the B pillar bars. You can also do a complete X behind the front seats. These bars will stop the cage from collapsing if rolled over. Look at any race car and you will see what I am talking about.

  • @davidpay6684
    @davidpay6684 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's a pretty stout roll cage! I've seen the places you go and expect that with all that weight on top, it will get put to the test at some point. Papa Dar might want to invest in a stout harness and some limb restraints!

    Cool roll cage set-up, the blue Nissan pick-up is cool. I have a 94 Nissan Altima SE with the 5-speed manual transmission. Mines had the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine which it shared with the Nissan pick-up during that time and the engine lasted me a lil over 465,000 miles so I know the 2.4L engines were well made, I retired the car and put it up on cement blocks and the dogs use it as a shade during the summer months lol 👍🇺🇸..

      @canyonrunner 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I roughly calculated the added weight from the estimated lengths of the tubing in the roll cage. I won’t disclose it so as not to embarrass myself; but, Papa Dar better not be planning on taking that beastie out into the sand here in Utah. (Yes, I am a native) He will sink like a rock tossed into quicksand. The more he fights against it and the faster his wheels spin the quicker he will sink. As a rock crawler he would be advised to add several hundred pounds of lead to the bottom half of his Jeep to redefine and to relocate the centroid of his Jeep so he DOESN’T roll over. LOOKS GOOD, though.
