Lets see your cages!

[Fullsizeyota]

hey guys, went out wheelin today... snowin like mad outside. perfect day to go wheelin

my buddy rolled his 86 SAS 4-runner.... his interior roll cage saved his ass

it was a essentially off road roll cage, came bent, we just welded it in place..

all his doors open and shut, the only thing thats not salvageable is the windshield

his roll cage got me lookin at my rotted roof'd 55... pretty sad really, but i NEED a cage... even the girlfriend that gave me the cruiser ultimatum said i needed a cage pretty funny stuf....

"you know that could have been us down there" she said....

"ha ha ya, thats why i always say i need a cage"...

"how much do they cost?? want one for christmas"??????

pretty funny stuff...

i dont have a bender, but i have a welder and a shop..

basically i have everything but the bender, anyone make a good weld in cage kit?? i couldn't find any on the internet, all i found was mark from metaltek thought about making them...

anyone have any good interior shots of their cage?? i think i have a pretty good idea of what i want, now i gotta find the balance between functionality/room/tube....


lets see what ya got.

isn't metaltech working on a piggie cage ?

I have one of the bolt together SOr.com cages in a parts rig. with some welding after it was installed It would be fine... If you want it let me know.

 

[nuclearlemon]

if he doesnt' want it, i'm interested.

Mark at Metaltech was thinking about trying to put something together for us but I dont know that he ever has. Other then that I have never found anything other than custom made or homemade for a pig. And since all I want my rig for is wheeling I have looked pretty hard. I am planning on just doing my own. Probably square corners instead of rounded with a lot of angled supports for strength. I dont have a bender either but a square corner can be just as strong as long as it is supported properly.

i may be retarded, but i didnt see that anywhere on the SOR web page.. do you have a pic of it or link or any more info? thanks

I have a bender and the tube, but no time at the moment. Maybe x-mas break.

I don't really care about body damage, but I would like a roof hoop on the outside for off camber tree sliding so i might go with some type of exo.

dont think they offer them anymore. they go over the rear seat and into the cargo area. a front cage would need to be fabbed

Is that true? Could that have been you - or did the other guy screw up somehow?

What happened?
