How long did the UCA install take you?
Doing mine this week
Doing mine this week
Don't remember. UCA's were a good long while ago.
The roll cage has been lowered to weldup the overhead connections. These pictures are out of date, as the connections are fully welded now.
The frame mounts have been gusseted and painted--they will be bolted onto the frame and rock sliders, then welded-to once final fabrication is complete.
I found some blueprints for the 4runner frame, and made a rough solidworks version to fitup to the cage, my welded rock sliders, and my coilover conversion I did a while ago. That way, I can plan out the fuel cell, fire suppression, running fuel lines and such.

Next up are gussets on the upper cage and painting thereof.

Driveable now
Howdy folks,
A good update. The A pillar and B pillar frame mounts are welded in, which puts back into the driveable state. However, it's helmets-on from here on out. Really stiffens the frame alot. Next up, phase 3 of the roll cage build, which is the lower section of the cage for the floor bars, lower cross bars and door bars.
C pillar mounts will be figured out after the fuel cell arrives.

rear down diagonals and door bars are in
Rear diagonals are in, and the door bars are in too. However, I'm X'ing the door bar area to give it more protection with Score tech's guidance. The upper red bar will probably be added once seats are in---even though this approach will make getting in and out easier, seats may be too big to fit through the hole.

It is! It gets 50 smiles per gallon and 5 thumbs up per mile.
