So this weekend I accomplished two things I been wanting to get done. Those being a rotopax mount on my "sub cage" and 3 rear facing lights, with one being removable. It will make sense in a minute! First the rotopax mount-

Step one was to clean the paint off of the cage where the new cross member will go, and test fit the new piece after it was bent and notched-
Image


I wanted this bar on the same plane as the bumper portion of the cage. I got it close enough and welded it in there-
Image


Now time to add the actual mount. I cut out a 4.5" circle out of 10 ga. sheet with a circle cutter on the plasma. If you don't have access to a plasma, a 4.5" hole saw would also do the trick. Then I notched and cut a short mounting bar and here's what I got-

Image


This piece is ready to mount on the new cross member. First it must be centered and leveled-
Image

Then welded-
Image

Now I can install the rotopax mount
Image

At this point, you gotta throw the can on there to be sure everything is straight and level-
Image

Looks good to me! This part is done. Now time for MORE LIGHTS!!

I'm adding three LED cubes facing the rear. The first one is going on the back of the cage and will be removable with the cage via a plug. First I added something substantial to bolt the light to-
Image

The 3/8 plate has a hole drilled and tapped in the center for the mounting bolt. The hole you see to the left is for routing the wires. Next I measured the light and bent up a guard, then welded it on-
Image


Finally! I can paint the sub cage and mount the light/run the wires-

Image


Now for the other two. After removing my stock seatbelts in favor of harness's, it opened up a great mounting location for rear lights. I just had to fab up a little bracket out of angle iron.

Still have to wire everything and let paint dry. Finished shots coming soon...

Man! That looks awesome.
Thanks! I still have more ideas I want to do but I'm getting closer to my "perfect" ride.

A cage chop is sounding better all the time. Or possibly revisit the custom cage idea.

Bucket seats are gonna happen this winter sometime. Can't wait for those!

Thanks for checking out my build guys

@Tflynn very nice work! The Decal is among the nicest I have seen, and the cage is BadA**!!!! You are truly a visionary! Do you have any full side shots of you 700 with the addition of the cage you could share? Thanks in advance. :)

Thank you for the kind words! I don't have any current side pictures with the rotopax but I found these-

Not true side profiles but close. I'll try to get a better one tomorrow.
