when i do my exo, it's not gonna be dom, that chit is too expensive. i will use hrew and that's only because i want to protect the jeep from too much damage if i flop. it's not gonna be a high speed vehicle, i putt down the trail below 20kph tops anyways. any faster than that is just dangerous to myself and other trail users.

sure i drive it to and from the trails, but i'm never going faster than the posted limit.

no, i won't use poo pipe, but if it's a dedicated trail rig driven by a responsible driver, it should serve it's intended purpose for some.

who here is gonna use dom for their cages, just what i thought....

WOW. only one word that comes to mind... GAY


driving slow is boring. I think I'll stick with DOM

When i do my interior cage, the main structure is going to be DOM. The rest is going to be hrew. I might make the handles out of poo pipe... Or the seat mounts...

I would like to but I don't rly see a problem with makin the triangulation and supports outta hrew. It won't be takin direct hits. Or hopefully any hits for that matter. But if I get a deal on DOM then so be it.

Nothing wrong with it, but the price difference wasn't enough for me to switch it up.

But anything that would contactsomething I would only use dom

Oh yea no doubt. As supports I mean in the corners, or behind the seats or for the seats to mount to.

I have a local machine shop like 3miles from my house that can order it but they'll charge me for it so i'll just find out who they order it from and see if I can get a good price on it.
