Default Please post picts of your cage

Im thinking about installing a cage in my 03 RC, 4x4. I hate roll cages, but the one pass thing per track is getting old, and I have no cahnce to dile my **** in or race anyone fast. I want to try and build a cage that the swing out bars unbolt from the floor, and I also want to keep the stock interior intact. The swing outs will be removable but the main hoop will be stationary. The worst part will probably be the bars through the back window. I hate lexan! Can anyone lazer holes in a factory temperd window? Any picturs of roll gage, and interior will be appreciated. Thanks, J

That looks good, is it bolted to the floor or does it go thru to the frame.

Yes you are right.
It's not a 6 point so it shouldn't be good for 10s.
