Full Rollcage
 
Well, it happened finally. The XJ got sunk in a mud hole, and the interior is ruined. Started ripping the carpet and seats out yesterday, and while I was doing so I decided "this would be a great time to do a roll cage". So, here I am, no welder, and a s**t ton of pipe. Once I can afford a welder, I'm going to start fabbing a cage. Pics to come! (And while I'm at it, I'm also doing all new seats, and Herculiner on the floors)

well I hope you are kidding about using pipe. hope it DOM or HREW tubing. the pipe wont hold up and a cage is a life saver if built correctly. pipe will not save your life

I want to build a roll cage for my jeep so bad but I need to practicing my welding skills first. I want to make sure its solid before I just throw down and make a Sh!tty roll cage

100 ft of 1.75 inch .120 wall hrew just cost me 150 bucks, its not really that much. especially when its something for safety.
heck iv even seen 1.5 inch .120 wall hold up to a roll over without bending, that was a guy on pirate.

Where are you getting DOM soo cheap? The cheapest I have been able to find lately is 80 a stick... If you can get 100' for 150.. I will take a 1000 ft of it:D

Yeah I too want to see how the cage turns out. Thinking about doing it to mine.
