DIY Roll Cage
Anyone have thoughts on this?
I don't have a tube bender but have access to a welder: http://www.essentiallyoffroad.com/ca...8pt-roll-cage/ |
Cage is cool, but would make it so the back bar going across is removable, as I sleep in the back of mine or the kids do
|
That actually looks really nice for a dd...an exo would be more ideal to protect the body, but for protection against a rollover this cage looks nice!
|
EOR makes some nice stuff but they are proud of it. Find a local shop and you'll spend less and get a much more custom fit.
|
looks like a decent starter kit but they could've made it a lot more snug and I'd like to see a couple of the front bars re-done. I agree with marc. go plate your frame front to back and have a local fab guy build you one
|
I agree with all the post, my thing is for a kit I can just buy and weld up it seems like a good deal. I still plan to check with local places.
My longer term plan is an exo, however, my thought is there basic cage for a starter, then. Later the exo and tie it into the internal cage? Money isn't wasted that way and it's a good solution In my mind as I'd want my exo to be slightly internal as well. Anyone know if his is dom and what wall? |
To dawg you want a cage inside your cage?
Skip the whole idea for now and go do some research. You'll find that it's best to wait until you can get a strong exo that actually ties into the frame. And you'll want to plate your entire frame. Do it once do it right. |
Good idea for a cage, but to last more than once you dont want it to just bolt to the floor.

Have you seen http://dandcextreme.com/product/d-and-cs-xj-cage-kits/
I like their cage better and people can ride in the back seat. |
that looks like a much better starter kit. except for the weird bar at the back that looks like a spoiler on a hatchback.
|
The essentiallyoffroad needs more triangulation.
I have read some poor reviews for dandcextreme. One was a respected local wheeler. Personally, I'd find a local shop so it can be custom fit to your rig like others have mentioned. |
It's not hard for me to plate the frame and tie this cage to it, cuase thats what I am planning to do. I just don't have the means to bend tube right now.
If someone wants to loan me a tube bender I'd be more than happy to build my own... From what I'm hearing though this kit is not worth the money? Just better off buying a tube bender and doing it my self. Anyone know a good place to buy / rent one? |
