Could just be the CUCV marking its territory...they are like that :)

Oh boy, the "experts" at work are already coming at me : "Exo-cage? Why on earth would you want to make a big truck even bigger??" Well, even with an exo-cage, its smaller than a Humveee, so there. <update> going with interior cage for technical reasons.

We may have the case here where the cost of the safety equipment exceeds the value of the vehicle. That's OK: I have a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis, an oil change exceeds its value :)

I'll make sure there is provision for 4 pt harness attachment. And I'll get some helmets. Now that I have embraced this idea, I'm all in.

I do not have welding skills. I do have the resources to have it done professionally, however. I currently have an inquiry out to these folks locally: http://arizonajeeparmorrocksliders.com/

Its a good idea to cage. One can initiate a rollover simply by dropping a front wheel in a deep hole. MOST of the videos show the cause to be either 1) doing donuts then the vehicle trips over something like that fella Merrick did 2) losing traction on a steep hill then getting sideways or 3)...

Friends & family, after seeing my videos, now want to ride with me. They say: "But you should install a rollcage." And they have no shortage of ideas of how to design it: "You need a crossbar here and a triangle there...." They have never built a cage in their life, but they are experts somehow...

removed the electric winch Recall that the winch was rear mounted. After innumerable discussions about why its on the back and not on the front, I convinced myself that I do not need one at all. Apart from the discussions, winching is dangerous if not rigged properly (from what I see on...

I have Detroits on both ends and am pleased with the performance.

De verdad? No me digas.. :)

The locks are not for security, rather, for "cotter pin wrasslin' avoidance". Yes the locks are easy to remove, that's the point :) When watching winching and recovery videos, I see it recommended to pack along extra shackles. I already have four. I want to be able to remove them easily, but...

rear shocks If the old shocks were horses, then they would be glue by now.

green or khaki Its like a little angel on one shoulder and a little guy with a pitchfork on the other shoulder.....

I've enrolled in a 12 step program. Realizing that I have a problem is Step 1. :)

4 locks keyed alike

Well, its part M1009 and part M1008. Seems to work OK. https://youtu.be/LQF2j94qvjc

"A guy walked into a starter repair shop." I was waiting for "he banged his head, it really hurt":)

In your research, have you found any DOT compliant, replacement headlamps that have the LED turn signals integrated? That would be the cat's meow.

cleaning up after a successful outing A little rattle can touchup on the rear bumper, hose out the spilled coffee, hey, we're good. Six vehicles on this trip, the other 5 were Jeeps of various vintages. "Represented" well with the CUCV: I was the only one who took the Chute, the others took the...
