im putting in a roll cage pretty soon...

do you guys recomend taking the body off for the roll cage?

I'd take the roof off at least

But that is just me.

Seriously, I would do the design and mock up with it on. Make the body removable and then take it off for final and complete welding. This will make for a strong cage. Design it with the body in place, this will help you locate all the tubes in a way that will not interfere with things like the seats, dash, door handles, ect...you get the idea.

The water looked deep. Did you check it or did you just go for it?

Good to see you got her back together...

Now a "little" fiberglass and a bit of Bondo, and a couple of rattle cans, and a few minutes will take care of that small cracked front fender.

Just saw that video, is it bad that I thought "Aw so cute" when it crossed?

Anyway, that's not deep, did you see Franz's swim pictures? =P

Franz's swim was epic. I'm including drain plugs and bailing buckets in my baja just cuz of it.
