full 2" cage
you could easily get a quality cage for less than 1500, 1.5"x.120 mild is about $2ft, so if you paid 3k for that you eFFed yourself,

KleenHall all those you posted are NOT NHRA legal, those are nice cages no doubt but none of them would pass tech even close.

i dint say they were, i just was posting pics of REAL cages in silvys, say what you will but ive seen very sketch stuff get passed in tech at many race events even NHRA!, just so you know those cage are on DD/weekend toys so they lack a couple tubes to make them 100% legit for offroad racing, now i understand that its different racing but in offroad trucks usually dont see 100mph but yet cages are held to stricter guidelines which you will never see in NHRA, vehicles over 4k lbs must use 2"x.120 for the main tubes and remaining tubes can be 2"x.090-1.75x.090, the only vehicle you can use 1.5x.120 is on stock VW's


the white chevy had the cage installed to a bare cab, there are many tubes you dont see, its not the only chevy to have a hidden cage but ill have to look through pics for more

I agree with all the points you made but unfortunately it is what it is. That cage that is hidden looks badass for sure, Ive never seen that before. If you can find more pics that would be awesome.

2" a foot for water pipe and some Stick welder to fix it up C/M is 8.00 a foot.. and then its all tig inside and out... here is a Glimpse of exactly what my cage looks like without the pannels... and they say mine will keep me safe at over 175mph...

first, take your ignant self back to school!
next find a better price on cromo, cause $8 a foot is high, maybe you are too, cause the reference to waterpipe came out of nowhere!!!, what is 2" a foot? the slope of youre waterpipe maybe?

youre "keep me safe cage at 175mph" lacks support but ill let you find where! nice X too ROFLMAO


do i need to show you a offroad truck thats safer than youre chassis and is almost capable of 175mph through dirt? GTFO

id love to see the belts youre gonna use in youre race cab, i bet there pink, or maybe your gonna design those too like the cage work, 9 points should work!
