Thank you for the good words.

The front axle is in place. Some more testing and it's ready.

The driveshafts are in the workshop to make them sorter due too the patrol 3rd member is bigger and longer than the

stock jimny one.

Also willwood hydraulic handbreak is ready to go on.

After that testing to see if everything works fine and then my brothers car will follow.

Axles are on and tested. So more adjustments on the willwood hydraulic handbrake and on breaks generaly.

Also we fitted the omp internal roll cage. A friend of mine made some mods to the cage so now is as the J part from the

fia book regulation says.

A set of simoni racing reclining seats is also on the way. Harness is 5 point from sparco.

Nice build.
Though I doubt if this cage is FIA-compliant. AFAIK, it requires at lest the tube in the doors frame, at least one diagonal under the roof and I don't see what is in front on photos. But I can confirm that if you topple in FIA cage, it feels more like some Disneyland stuff :)

To explain what I think is missing:


And the overall view from behind:

And from the front:


The above is fully compliant with current FIA specs.

P.S. And what about 2.0L Engine, want to see that :) I like 1.8L that I have now, but more is laways better :)

The side cross bars are detachable as the rear diagonial also.

Nice work you have done to your cage.

You must know that FIA regulation has a lot of issues.

Which one you follow to make your cage?

There are at least 10 ways to make a cage.

It depends on which type of motorsport you are competing and a lot other parameters.

For that kind of cage you are goign for rally raids.

Even a Disneyland cage properly prepared can save your life.
