Local customer had a nasty roll over. His master cylinder on his brakes blew out going down hill at 25mph and ended up doing a 1 1/2 barrel roll into a tree. Ended up with 2 cracked ribs and 7 stitches in his forehead but was able to walk away from the crash.

Our cage did a perfect job of absorbing the impact of the roll over into the tree w/o going into critical failure. By using our 2 x .120 DOM SRA tubing it took the full grunt of his 1 ton drivetrain w/ 47" Swampers rolling around. Also note the nose guard and stinger did its job of bridging the gap between the windsheild and radiator. His radiator is still perfectly intact after the roll over.

Thats a good looking cage. I still can't believe people wheel without a cage, or even seat belts.
 
hurts just to look at! Glad injuries weren't worse!
 
Just did the same thing last Sat only backwards in my rig. Glad all ok. Been looking at your web site also!
How about a temporary/removable add on Cage /bar ??? to really protect the windshield when playin hard?

Could have been much worse. Glad to hear everyone walked away. GREAT CAGE !!!:clap:

I guess he had an automatic trans?
 
LT....I just showed my boys the picture of your friend's truck. They remember your propane injected 40 series ride last summer and all my excitement as I strapped the roll cage on the 4Runner roof rack. Your note reaffirmed why I bought a full family cage from you guys....
