Re: Rollcage Construction

while the or fab cage is nice, and can with stand a roll or two, you will need basically two things in any cage design

1. more triangulation, that is what will add strength and rigidity to the cage in a roll over situation

2. tie the cage into the frame.

While DOM is the standard, a well designed and fabricated hrew cage can be just as strong if not stronger than a hacked in DOM cage. Make sure your joints are nice and tight and the welder really penetrate into both pieces and you will be in great shape.



I like the Poison Spyder cage, I think it offers a great foundation for a safe cage.

I don't have any pics of my cage on hand, but mine is build off the factory B pillar, everything else is 2.25 DOM. I've had it on it's Lid twice now, none too serious, but it has held up.
