Thank you sir! I've been wanting to do this since I bought my Trx. "thumbsup"
Thank you Ernie! Wouldn't be what it is without you and your help! Oh how I wish I could come spend a few days in your shop and beautiful state! Oregon is a bucket list state for me. Spending time in your shop is also on that list. Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeves for another nukizer body. "thumbsup"
Thank you bro! I really enjoy doing cage work. Too bad I can't make it my profession. You and me both brother! I'm so ready to get it back out on the rocks! That would be cool I like seeing 1:1 projects. I miss building them.

Thank you guys! "thumbsup" Always liked the Nukizer body. This one is a Codyboy creation paired with a AnimalHippie Trx-4 & cage. That Codyboy makes some really nice stuff. :mrgreen: "thumbsup"

My buddy giving the Trx a run. Still one of the hardest spots on my course.
I made it once outta 5 tries with the Trx and crawled right over it first try with the Dingo on this line.
Nice Buffalo Sabers tee!!

That thing is awesome! Would love to get one and build it up. Such cool looking trucks!!! Thanks for the pics bro! "thumbsup"
I don't even know whata Buffalo Saber is LMAO:lmao: Only sports I might watch here and there is skateboarding and F1 racing. Really don't get much TV time. Working 6-7 days a week, two little ones, wife and my hobbies take up 99% of my time.
Youre welcome! Thought u would enjoy them. Id love to get my hands on that one there. Throw some 1t axles under it, built v8, some good meats n go for a nice trail/crawl run

Can honestly say I have only watched part of 1 hockey game in my whole life. No wonder I didn't know what it was. LMAO!
Definitely enjoy seeing cool stuff like that. Hell ya! I would drive it everyday on my long 3.5 mile drive to work. LoL! Along with spending a bunch of time out in the forest with it.
A little cage update for you guys. Went to my buddy's house last Saturday afternoon and got some welding done.
The cage worked out great. Only had to remake 1 bar on the whole cage. The tape was hiding my mistake. Once we got done welding it was time for the sand blaster.
All nice and cleaned up and ready for some paint
Of course had to get a flexed shot in there
Just finished up the second coat of paint on the cage last night and got the cage mounted up. Now time for some accessories back there to help blend the battery tray cover and hide it a bit. Don't mind the messy work bench. Been trying all kinds of different things to get this rig how I want it.
Working on either making my own shock towers (in pieces in the pics above) or grabbing some GPM towers. Also thinking about trying my hand at styrine work for a tool box back there since I'm terrible at designing stuff on the CAD program. Let me know what you think. Thanks for checking it out!!!

Thank you guys! I'm really digging how it turned out!
Thank you brother! I was thinking about chopping the frame but since I wasn't sure how the brake line was going to hold up I wasn't ready to go that far. I really enjoyed doing the cage work and see another one in the future. Next time it will be a true truggy and done with 3/16" stainless tubing. That just wasn't in the budget this time around. Think the whole cage and welding cost me around $40.
Thank you brother! The cage work was pretty easy and allot of fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hoping I can get some styrine in the next week or so and give it a shot. Don't wait that long start trying it now. You'll be around for another 20-40 years so no worries on kicking the bucket.:mrgreen:
I plan on a tool box, fuel cell, axe, shovel, coil of rope, high lift jack and a scale battery. Hoping I can get it all together soon. Might take it for a spin out back this weekend and see how she does with the extra weight. I'll post some pics if I get to run it.
Thanks again guys!!!"thumbsup"

Great job on the cage!"thumbsup"
It looks perfect with the Nuk body!
I think a tool box would look good out back somewhere.
