Very cool to hear you'll have a full cage option for JK owners...assuming the oem tops still work but will there be a way to reuse the speakers? I'm guessing no which is not a big deal but wondering just the same.

 

Hey Frank,

Yes, making the OEM tops continue to work on the final cage is a must, but we are still working on several different options for the JK full cage kits. Are you talking about the tweeters on the dash? If so, going through the dash (like we did on BEAST) is very doable, but also very labor intensive. I asked Jim about your question, and he replied:

"We have always tried to keep function part of the form of all our cages. We are prototyping different styles now and we will try and figure best ways to keep the factory form intact. Minor mods might need to be done to interior pieces to keep them in place. We really appreciate all your input on what you would like to see in the product."

Frankly (no pun intended), since we are a custom shop and really want people to get exactly what they specifically want, we will most likely end up with several different full cage JK kits, such as through the dash, in front of dash, and beside the dash plate-type installs.

Anyway, and bottom-line, tell us what you want, and we will build it...!

Thanks,
Dave

 

Thanks Dave! I was thinking both the tweeters as well as the sound bar behind the drivers seats but really it's not a big deal. I would most likely upgrade the speakers if I went with a weld in cage regardless!

 

Jim is working on the design now for the cage kits. We will offer several options for the front - throuh the dash, beside the dash, and in front. Also, we will have kits for people who want to keep their soundbar and build off the existing cage, and an option for people who want to replace the whole stock set-up.

I'll keep you updated. Thanks, Dave

 

We got the opportunity to help out our friends at Road Race Motorsports by working on their front Dana 60 that is going into their KOH race car.

Nice wheels:





Artec truss:



PSC full hydro steering:

 

Fresh off the dealer's lot, the owner brought this brand new JKU in for 4" Full-Traction lift, ARB lockers, gears, and more!





What can we build for you?!

 

Had a few JKs in the shop today.

This one came in with "death wobble" but left riding great and no more warning lights:

 

Chris from the forum came in to talk about armor to cover up this damage:



And to say thanks for the truss that we just put in for him:

 

Speaking of trusses for the JK, Artec makes a great one. Here is one of Artec's complete front axle armor kits for the JK. It comes with the truss, c-gussets, LCA skids, and a beefed up trac bar bracket. We have been installing a lot of these lately and they are great:



This is what the kit looks like installed:

 

Dang Chris! Where did you destroy your fender?
