I never knew that. Thanks.

 

and i have heard it is better to use round pieces of plate for the sandwich mounts because they are less prone to breaking through the sheetmetal and spread the load better

 

Or cut a dam hole in the floor and run the pipe right through it. Mount seats to the cage, and don't worry about it.

 

what's up dave, haven't heard from you in a while. that works too, but the guy i was talking to wanted the cage to be removable. it it were my truck, i would probably go your route.

 

Fiesty! Settle down over there. Not everyone has a backflipping,competition, rock crawling buggy.

 

Hey,been busy gettin **** done on 3 rigs. Ya, so you can pull the body off the frame if need be, if that's the case, just make the plates bolt to the frame, might make getting it all in the cab a bit harder, but makes welding easier, because if done right, can drop the cade down a bit to weld the top and back of the joints.

 

Isn't it the safest to have the seats to the cage? I wasn't flippin out. If your going through thr trouble of puttin a cage in the cab, the interior is already stripped, so you have room to work without burning it up, why not put a couple extra bars in for the seats and belts. On I side note, is it really a good idea to piece together a cage with abunch of bends and strait tube? I'm thinkin there's better ways of going about it.

 

I just went the easy route for a regular 10 point cage and ordered it from s&w racecars. Comes as a complete kit all you need to do is final fit and weld.

 

good work karl.

 

Karl, happen to have a picture of the cage?

 

no, but he has a picture of a box that involves your mom that would scar you for life :flipoff:

 

Well in that case don't give me the picture. >_>

 

I'm welding the cage in this weekend. Go to s&w's website and you can see their roll cage kits

Maybe Paul can get some pics of his. It's the same kit, just for his bronco and he added the family bars for the back seat.

 

Alright Thanks Karl.
If anyone is interested.
