Exo cage H2 SUV

[Mb30sdl]

This is going to be recap and new stuff.

 

[Mb30sdl]

As some of you remember, I had a problem ( big problem) with my tire carrier by RA.

So after spending some time in my "Technology Center"

 

[Mb30sdl]

And getting some ideas to fix the problem I saw this and was shocked, Shocked I tell you,

at POOR workmanship of this exo-cage.

serge your bumpers are much nicer then his but I like the cage

 

[Mb30sdl]

This looked like some one with no design skills and limited imagination would do. This was a straw that broke the camel's back.
I enlarged "Technology center"

quid some music and got to work.

 

[Mb30sdl]

I am not going to bore you with details, but this how it looked like after ~8 weeks.

:hthink:

 

[Mb30sdl]

As you can see most of cage was in place and frame for "barn doors" was ready.

 

[Mb30sdl]

Couple of weeks later cage was sprayed and doors were mounted.

 

[Mb30sdl]

and now only couple of week left, so this is latest progress.

Omg! all of this: :boom::bang2::mg::ba::soldier::bang:can happen and nothing will happen to the "hamster." I also see you added the bars by the doors and then added to the barn doors. Holy **** serge, I love it.

I know in the old thread people were making jokes of the "monkey bars" but when I saw this in person it was badass. If a trail is too tight you put serge in front and he will pave a way. Front and rear winches RA bumpers exo cage etc. I also talked to him about the drivetrain. This build is just starting...lol and dont forget the offroad trailer that is going behind it. SERGE YOUR A BADASS.

Btw serge when you guys stopped by magic mountain after that gorman run a few of my jeep buddies saw a line of Hummers. They know I am a fanatic so they call me and start explaining the most badass H2 they have ever seen. After they described it I found out the H2 they were talking about was the hamster...even the jeep guys love it.

 

[Bigunit]

WOW! Nice job Serge. You had been quiet lately - now I know why!

The Fighting Hamster has quietly been pumping, or I should say - adding, more iron. I love it!! Like I said before, your rig needs to star in a movie!

 

[3Hummers]

Time to get that bad boy back on the trails.

 

[ReconH3]

Amazing work!

Damn Serge! And I thought mine was a never ending project. Looking forward to seeing the new additions in person. :thumbs:

Lets continue,

You grow them like a weed:giggle:

Now as you can see this setup gave as some challenges.

The can carriers are removable and the can be removed or replaced with different type , don't have pics yet.

We still have to make side and rear carrier plates.

 

[Mb30sdl]

The tire presented some bigger challenges, like how in the hell would you remove 100-150lbs wheel from 6 feet above.
:hthink:

And one "Technology center" visit later i had a solution = crane/winch assy.

 

[Mb30sdl]

So we mounted pivot plate for crane assy. between roof rack and rear door frame tubes. Now plate with winch turns 180* and i can winch wheel up and to the side of the truck. Crane are will be square tubing and extendable with remotely controlled winch.

:corn:

 

[Portager]

So you have a caboose on your backend and a crane on the roof? Amazing! Actually, I think the crane is a pretty good way of getting the spare up and down. Realistically there aren't very many people who can lift a spare that high. At least not more than once. I hope the crane folds flat for transit.

 

[06 H3]

A crane on the roof?? Serge that is isanse..you think of it all

 

[Mb30sdl]

There other applications, like lifting truck upright in case of roll over or gun mounting platform.
