No exo…. Nothing crazy.. Front to back and accross. I want to be able to get out with out squeezing through the bars. As long as me and my family dont get crushed in case of a roll over. Theres a bolt on version that I saw that I'm interested in.

I would like to do a cage too at some point.  I was thinking of just buying the weld in cage parts from A to Z Fab.   Get a few pieces of DOM to pratice welding on since welding skills are pretty noobish.

 

Who knows when it will happen Confused

I've got a tube bender with the air over hydraulic cylinder and a notcher.  Hopefully I'll be back onto my cage soon.  Then I need to build a new cart/stand for it.  The best instructions I found was on Pirate4x4.

Since my welding and tube bending skills suck I opted to go with Hard Rock's(?) bolt in kit. Its $1,000 but if I start saving here and there I'll have it by winter.

I had to do this again since for some reason my home computer won't let me post on the site.  I'm in Munster.
