internal cage

[AKLJ8]

I've always built roll cages for one of two reasons. In a 4x4 for a light roll on a trail or in a rig used at high speeds where real rollover protection and cage strength is critical. I've had 6 4x4 cages built for the rigs I have owned and wheeled over the years and have tested 3 of them in accidents. Every accident was on a hwy at 55 plus mph. I never have rolled over on a trail, knocking on wood now... I'm a firm believer if you going to the effort of building a cage designed it for a high speed collision unless it a trail rig that never sees pavement.

The last roll over I did was in a 68 Bronco. The previous owner was a desert racer and used it as a chase rig. It had a built cage tied into the frame with shoulder harnesses. I rolled on black ice and endowed up and embankment of the hwy three times and rolled back down onto the middle of the hwy another four times. I was then t-boned by the next rig to come around the corner. I survived but with a pretty bad concussion.

Build them tough it could save your life.
