That is Steve's. Mine is just the first section of frame still. Well behind his but I have been focusing on my Jeep lately.

Thanks for the update and pictures! Looking really good!
looks awesome!! what size tubing are you using? wall thickness? did you ever narrow down some of your options as to what might be going on the buggy? tire size, tranny, how many spline on the axles? lockers, what set up ext.
It's all good! You need to remove the oil pan. Your sway bar might be in the way but I think you can get it off without removing it. Do you have the Haynes book for the Grand. It contains good instructions.
It will hold for awhile. Yeah, that looks like a good time. Good wheeling out there! Get out the Dremel!!

Hey Jordan
Check this out for a start:

There are more companies out there that do this, but you will have to do some digging. Another option is that there are that there are also companies that sell 'conversion' tubs chassis kits that use Blazer and Yota frames as part of the design. The ones that I know of weld right up to the existing frames.
Google '4x4 buggy plans' or 4x4 rock buggy plans' and you will get a lot of links.
Thanks Brody
just thinking for possible future plans. i just never heard about people selling them so cheap!
Hey Jordan
Here are another couple of sources that build generic cage kits and parts. As you can see from the first one, they can be modified to fit most anything and are designed to mount to existing frame rails:

Bud Built builds a frame for a starting point:

And Blue Torch Fabworks designs and sells full cage kits in all manner of styles:

Those pics are making me drool, I want one.
Damn nice
Here is the latest picture of Steve's buggy. It's real close!
Currently it sits on two Dana 60's with an ARB up front and a full time in the back. We need to swap these out. Front to rear and rear to front. Anyone interested in helping him out on Saturday? Let me know! Thanks. Also, let me know what you would charge to do it. Thanks!
Looks great! For a matchbox!
seriously, do you have a bigger pic?
That was from my phone, I will put up better pics later today.
If someone is interested in swapping the lockers let me know. Friday or Saturday of this week would be great!
That's better! Looks really good!
You still need help swapping the lockers? I could probably come by either day. Was hoping to use my truck this weekend, but another wrench in the works and I have to tear the sucker apart again so I am more free to do stuff. Don't know how much it takes to do the lockers, but I'm willing to be another set of hands.
