There are quite a few threads on this you can search for and gets lots of info....

My favorite cage I have seen so far would have to be this guys...

http://soderblom.net/bronco/tech/cage/

I am lookin to get one custom made. A buddy of mine made his own, he is amazing when it comes to metal fab/welding... his cage probably saved his life. Rolled his bronco a couple times and all it came out with was this...



However... He looked like this!


Could have been worse...

I dont know the guy in the link. But my buddy built the bronco that rolled. He built the roll cage and the whole suspension custom... NO kit. He has his own company, Smail Built, in Southern Cali. The blue truck flyin through the air is his totally customized F-150 and the white truck is another buddy of mines. Smail Built did all the suspension work on it and also the prerunner bar and skid plate... pretty much everything else too.

They are really good.

Here is another link to some more pictures

http://home.off-road.com/~bronco400/...e/CagePage.htm

they are really just ideas the guy is playing with using the same design, and same pictures, as in the link in my first post...

have fun with your design.... and let us know what you go with and be sure to post some pics!

Later

McNabb
