Anyone know of a company that makes an internal cage for a truck in this year range?

i would suggest making your own. it would be cheaper in my opinion. thats if you know how to fabricate and use a welder. other then that i don't know any companies that sell roll cages for these trucks. you might have to go to a fabrication shop and have them make you one

ahh, I -was- gonna ask which type but ok, either way if your doing it for rock crawling then I suggest a custom job, the in cab ones can punch right though the sheet metal if you roll the truck a few times, direct bolt or weld to the frame is the path I would go.

I have the tube, bender, welder, and know how....but pricewise its alot more for me to do it. I found the jegs sells a 12 pt for a 79 for 269.00 and with little mods, it will fit my application. So far I have enough to build a 10 pt 2" DOM .125 wall cage myself, but I have 675.00 in just the tube. This is the reason I was thinking about a prebent one, just to save my tube for something else.

How many sticks of tubing is that? If it is less than 8 you got ripped off! Plus 2" 0.120 DOM is not necessary. You not building a monster truck. 1-5/8" 0.120 DOM is more than sufficent.
