Is this a good roll cage?

[Levi Ely]

I am wanting to get rid of this full roll cage, but I have no idea if it's good or not. Or even how much to list it for. It is really well done from what I can tell. Not sure if this is the correct place for this question. I didn't know if I could post this this with a "make me an offer" thing on the classifieds.

Interesting, it looks like someone added to a popular aftermarket roll bar... whether or not it is good would depend on the material used

price - whatever the public would bear... material-wise, there's at least $300 in material in the bar.

i hope this is leading up to carpet removal and disposal.

roll cage is good , carpet is not

I just bought this thing a few months ago, and by the amount of hacking, welding, half assed fixes and coverups there are, I'm not sure I want to look under the carpet just yet.

Look under the carpet or shut your eyes and remove it. Anything bad under carpet gets much worse real fast. If not bad now, it could be real bad by the time you look under it, unless it is 100% dry under it.

Are you interested in selling it? I'm looking for one. If so where are you located?

If you're asking about safety, then the short answer is no. It has no triangulation. In a rollover, it will collapse on itself. The angle iron will act like a can opener and slice through the wheel wells. It looks similar to a dealer installed Smittybilt roll bar that was popular in the early 70s. Most 1970-71s had this installed. The angle iron piece looks like it was changed to a longer piece or they just added an extra length to accommodate the rear hoop. The brackets are to mount the long jumps seats.

That roll cage will do just fine for protecting people during a rollover (unless it's made out of super thin material). It is not well designed for multiple hits, but for 99% of the wheelers out there, it'll save them from the one roll if it ever happens.

Start a for sale thread with what you consider a fair price in the for sale section to sell it.
