Papa Dar's Jeep build is coming along quite nicely and it's just about complete!! We wanted to make sure that he was safe out there on the trails, so we built a "state of the art" custom roll cage!! He should now be safe to roll it as many times as he likes. ;)

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!

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

@Druid_Plow 3 жыл бұрын

@@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.

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.

@ljoffe 3 жыл бұрын

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.

when i saw the grandma's ditch challenge i was thinking about the banana when they added the bead locks. I think overall Matt's vehicles would outperform Dar's Jeep offroad, but they would be trading blows on a lot of different obstacles. Dar's longer wheelbase with be a blessing and a curse depending on the terrain.

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 👍🇺🇸..
