Roll cage options

[Richard]

The Jeep is due for a whole new cage, it's currently made up of the '89 main hoop, later family cage rear bars, and pipe in the front.

One option is a kit from Poison Spyder. I like the look and function of this cage including the A-pillars and tunnel in front for my CB. Kit cost is $1k US plus shipping, so I figure around $1,500. But at least it would save time measuring, bending, and cutting a custom cage.

when we did JP's he bought 120', it was around $750, the footings from TMR for $60 and the A pillar piece for $150, so for around $960 we built his cage.

Yah, That's about right for material cost. For time - I had about 35-40 hours in Tim's and Brad's cages....

Family cage or sport? I don't know that I've ever seen JP's TJ/juggy.

So assuming I have to pay for someone's time and tools I may not be saving all that much, though I can get some customization, keep the money local, and have fun.

I requested a shipping quote from PS (their site doesn't give one, even for Ogdensburg), I'm assuming it'll be close even for Canadian vendors.

We can talk more at the meeting tomorrow.

Sport, a family cage wouldn't have been much more in tubing.

Very true, if you have to pay for someone to do it it'll get prIcey quick.
