Roll Cage
 
Sooo :/ I hate to say it but my buddy flipped his trans am this sunday and passed away wed, He would've survived if he had a roll cage, the roof collapsed in smashing his head, got a concussion, was declared brain dead, coma, and the family decided to pull the plug.
So my question is, where can i find a roll cage for my truck its a 2000 RCSB silverado 2wd, and how much should they be? i don't want anything to crazy as this is my daily driver thanks guys

Best way is custom. $850+ for an 8pt roll bar, usually $2,000+ for a 10pt or 12pt cage, those are the estimates I've gotten.

Umm wow, sorry to hear about your friend.

If your near the Houston are give Baytown Racecars a call. They just did the cage in Casey's truck and I went over there to check it out and it was very nicely done.

They could probably do you a hoop and door bars for a pretty good deal. Unless your looking to go fast the dragstrip and be legal I would'nt bother with the rear bars out the back.

sorry to hear about your friend. happy to hear you want to throw some safety into your truck. i would check around at your local fab shops. anything that does any sort of off road fabrication (granted they are a reputable shop) can also help you with a simple rear cab hoop with a few door bars.
