P1000 Cage chop

[Blubeerbuggy]

I'm working on my cuts now. That B pillar is being a pain in the @ss! Only place I can see to get 4.5 inches out is where the headrest V bar is. Anyone have a work around that?

I cut my b-pillars at a z. The outside was about an inch longer on the top at the outside and then a out 1/2" taller on the bottom on the inside. This way I could over lap the 2 pieces and keep the gussets on both sides. I also sleeved mine with tube
Hopefully the pictures help

I need to chop mine to fit in the toy hauler. When you cut the a, b, and c pillars, do you have to change the length of the upper bar front to rear?

With 3" removed, I did not add any between the a and b pillar.

No, I cut mine 4” in the front and 5” in the back without changing the length

Kinda hard to tell, but it looks like you have a SATV flip up windshield... How much modifying to it did you have to do? I've been interested in chopping mine but I like my windshield too much to do away with it...

Is this done normally with the cage still mounted in the vehicle?

I would recommend using the stock cage mounts to realign the pieces before welding.

 

[JenElio]

No, I cut mine 4” in the front and 5” in the back without changing the length

Is it a P1K5? You got any pics of this chop? Maybe a side view?? I was thinking doing 4 all around but may like the 5 at the rear
