i built the roll cage myself. it cost me $109.00 in material (1" 5/8 HREW tubing) i still need to put the rear bars in, but i dont have the glass. i wouldnt suggest putting a cage in a daily driver. it sucks getting in and out. the mods to the truck are sct programmer, 6lb pulley, 92mm mass air, electric fan, heat exchanger, FTVB, 2600 stall, ported blower, and some other small stuff.
do you road race it? or have big plans for it? just wondering why you put the cage in, its not your DD is it?

Hey you cant be too safe in these trucks!!! We definatley need to see a mod list... With the rollcage I'm thinking its going to be long!
Yes indeed! Please! ;-)JH02GT said:
Thats all the mods you have on this truck and you put a roll cage in it??? :shrug: I hope you have plans for a built motor with turbo/kb/whipple because you are no where near the power level for needing a roll cage. :??:blownsvt said:

It's a truck though. It's a lot easier to flip a lightning.
Cool, now onto the motor

WTF..ok, so he cant put a rollcage in it first?
Hence, why I said I hope he has plans for built motor with turbo/kb/whipple. If he does, fine. If not, then...well you already know what I think. Nice job on the install either way.mustangbee said:

Nothing wrong with being safe and tieing the frame together for extra strength. Even go-carts have a roll cage setup with their beastly 3.5hp lawnmower engine....
oke:Come on now, go carts??? Why even bring that up in this.Blk91stang said:Nothing wrong with being safe and tieing the frame together for extra strength. Even go-carts have a roll cage setup with their beastly 3.5hp lawnmower engine....
Basically what I am getting at, its like having a fox body mustang and putting pullies and a gear in it and then putting a cage in it. Whatever floats your boat. Like I said before, nice job on the instal anyways! Very clean! :beer:

Than what?? It's only easier to flip b/c it's faster than your car.
oke: Easy to flip? have you ever been in one?
Dude your car sits higher than my truck... is yours a 4x4?

not understanding the roll cage :??:
I doubt that cage adds any useable amount of torsional/bending rigidity to that truck.
great for a 3300lb unibody car
not so great for a 4700lb, tough as nails, full framed pick up truck
no the truck is not fast enough to need a cage. i built the cage while i was going to school at wyotech where i had the facility and all the tools i needed. i have plans on doing a twin turbo setup with it soon. the truck ran a 12.69 two years ago with just the basic chip, pulley, intake and slicks. i will also say that the cage does stiffen up the frame. you wouldnt think that the stock frame twist alot, but it does. anyway, thanks for the positive comments :rockon:
not to get too off topic...but im curious as to how your experience went at wyotech? Ive been contemplating the blairseville location or going to another tech school over here in lima, OH called University of Northwestern Ohio. Just wanted to soo what you though about it..any input helps.
