Cage build

[little6cylinder]

I'm not sure if anyone really cares but I was having a tough time finding cage pictures before I built mine so here's a few of how I did it.

I even put her to work! Haha Needed a little help bending the tubing.

First I cut the holes in the floor. Then I bent the main hoop, set the hoop on jack stands. Measured and cut the rear down bars tacked them in place. Measured and cut the door bars. Let it down as far as I could and finish welded it. The rear bars come down straight on the frame rails so I welded them first. Then I made out riggers and welded them on. Center bars first and door bars last.

Not sure what you're doing with the truck and what your odds are of rolling, I build similar mounts to your frame mounts on our little short course trucks, and I would gusset that square tube lower mount to the bottom on the frame. Looks good though!

Thanks, that's the plan. Very slim chance of a roll over but it's there for a reason! LOL I plan on putting in a gusset. I will provably be turning it into an 8.50 cage this winter so we'll see how fun that ends up being.

Who cares about roll cage pictures, if you have so good looking helper!:rockwoot:

Haha thanks. She races auto cross and gives me **** about drag racing and not being able to turnLOL. I just tell her I'm turning the whole way down the track! It's a workout trying to go in a straight line!

LOL well it's pretty quiet around the fabrication section and I've gotta give her credit. She did a lot. Plus she painted it which sucked a$$! Definitely the worst part of the whole thing.
