First off a big Thank You to Doug(FishPoet) for allowing us here at ODL to take on this project.
As many of you have seen The Black Pearl has traveled more dirt roads and rock trails then the average Jeep. So it was time to get some upgrades. After speaking with Doug and finding out what he wanted for the Pearl we got to work. This Jeep is more of an Exploration Jeep and Doug wanted to add safety with out compromising space and a little bit of comfort. The idea is to build a sort of inner/outer cage, without looking like a jungle X/O cage. I think this is the best design when dealing with tight quarters and tall drivers. This will also tie the uni-body tight to the structure.
So here is the build plan:
Inner/outer cage
HDHC ( Heavy duty High clearance )Rockers
Basket behind back seat
Fender well tube protection
And a few little tricks here and there!
I will post up some pics tonight when I get home.
