Roll Cage

[bogginjess]

For some reason i am noticing a lot more rollovers this year than years past, so just out of curiosity how many of you are running cages? If not running one, any reason for doing so?

[betterbeaters]

got a cage in my bogger and dd. safty frist, never know when something bad will happen... I think everyone should have one if they plan on playing hard.

[michigan maniac]

After rolling my truck last year my new bogger will have a cage, and race harnesses, you never know what's gonna happen, and when it does it will happen quick, like an idiot I wasnt wearing a seat belt, almost went out the sunroof and would have been crushed, but luckily only my shoulder went out and came back in before the roof hit the ground, so.now its safety first for me

i've got 5 and 6 point harnesses and will have a cage before the rig hits the trail.

To all,
Dont' wear your 4/5/6 point harnesses without a cage/rollbar..
in the event of a rollover you are pinned to the seat.. if the roof collapses you have no where to go..

with a standard 3 point shoulder harness at least you can still lay down.

[Hammerlane]

oh.. and P.S.

if you have a bolt together bar.. this IS NOT a roll bar.. I don't care what it looks like or what grade of bolt you use.. this is a light bar!

what about a smitty built in cab bolt in cage? all bars are sleaved and bolted on joints?

[poorboyzmuddin]

never did one or seen one done what's the best way to do one?

the kits you can buy are very nice and easy to do I built my own in my bogger and it was not too bad.

I was thinking more along the lines of the behind the cab, chrome type that you see in pickup trucks..
smitty built is a reputable company and if they list it as a "roll bar" I would think that it would be sufficient.

kinda figured you ment the other but wanted to ask casue thats in my dd lol

Never understood it.. people will put thousands of dollars in a motor, but won't invest less than a thousand in a cage to protect themselves,or the passengers that are with them.  I build my own cages,nothing is bolted in, its all welded.


   If you use bolts, the cage is only as strong as the bolt is.

[OHEARN.2012]

My cage protects the whole cab completely welded. It ties into my body mounts which are welded to my frame. And uses bolts there.

[mudbillyredneck]

I'd rather get thrown clear    .....Just messin 


I like cages...they are cool....and can really help to stiffin up a weak pickup frame , to handle the abuse of big tires, lifts, and tons of abuse

[rockrat]

full cage all the way, also making a cage for my engine bay to protect the powerplant in the event I roll.  Protect yourself and your motor.

Never heard anyone be against a roll cage.

[Bowtie972]

In process of installing a full in cab cage right now.. With seats and harnesses..

I would NEVER run 4 point harness without a true full cage again!  I had a roll bar with a T that went toward the front windshield in my Figure 8 car with racing seat and harness.  when i rolled it came down hard on the front driver corner of the roof, crushing it waaay down.  The roof pinned my head right down to my chest, almost bit my tongue off cuz it was stuck between my teeth.  Couldnt get my mouth open to get it out  until  i released the harness. That fancy rear roll bar wont do anything  for ya in the wrong situation.. I would definitely not use those shoulder belts unless theres a real cage in.
