Roll cage

[Chevk587]

hey guys I’ve got a tubeing bender and I’d like to make my own cage ,rock sliders and doors . But I’m gonna start with the cage first . This may be a long shot but does anyone here have any drawings for building a cage ? that would be awesome if they were willing to share that info it would save me tons of time lol.

Do sliders first IMO, then tie your cage into your sliders...at least that's what I did and I've liked it

My old setup plus some of my new project.

Yeah, sliders first. But even before that, ask yourself, body lift or no body lift? That is important. I love a 1" lift, it helps a lot without being goofy.

Perfect
A lot has to be in place before doing sliders or a cage. Are you going through the dash? And with that 2” BL it will be easier to clockthe Tcase later

What I decided to do was order DIY4X roll cage and build on it by time I bought Dom and figured out all the measurements I would have there’s in . So yes I will be going through the dash . What’s BL ? Sorry noob I guess

I have I watched an old one of Kert Installing it .

For you guys with rock sliders could I get you to take a few good pictures of your sliders and how they are mounted would really appreciate it thanks.

I see thanks I plan on going with a doubler down the road I just rebuilt my 700r4 myself it’s working great and has all the upgraded parts in it . Everyone runs a 400 with 205 / doubler to the 203. Should have just did the 400 then but I didn’t plan on going this far at the time.
