i mean more bars look cool but i dont want my headstone sayin'he sure looked cool as his showcage wrapped around him like a tinkertoy bodywrap...'
it seems like the true answer is a custom made unit,which isnt that far fetched really,might as well replace the whole deal i know they have nice aftermarket actual rollcages but the front loop doesnt go to the floor
The floor is tin foil, if you want a cage it goes to the frame. Go big or be happy with stock, it works fine.
i hear what youre sayin chief, however, defining severe?if i go rolling sideways for any length of time i may encounter a boulder or a tree stump that WILL occupy said space.i think the reason they didnt include a true front loop from the factory is,where to put it?it would either be right there in front of the side speakers/heater vent or would go behind and the speaker/vent would be an over-mount situation.i think the factory didnt want to re-tool the dash(or everything else it woulda took to make an actual cage) but youre right in that general rollovers wouldnt be that diff than a car.
yes,in fact when i put this imaginary front loop in,i plate-match the understructure necessary to tie it to the frame and do that in the other contact points...yea the floor is tin foil.
So many people forget this kinda stuff, stump protection is very important in cage design, that and rabbits. I always warn people but they never listen.
I know nothing about roll cages but I've wondered how that works. Wouldn't connecting it to the frame circumvent the intent of flexible body mounts?
