just got done putting the cage together everything was there nothing missing.I havent seen many pics of this kit so i figured i would post some. ill have more pics of it in the truck after its powder coated next week.


sorry the pics were so big my i dont know how to change the size on my iphone yet lol.

 

cool...you will like the extra protection. A full cage makes DD a little interesting getting in and out but well worth

--I tweeked your post slightly to get rid of the extra photobucket code...pic size was fine

 

Cool i was thinking about adding a dash bar to the front and a rear removable bar for a 4 or 5 point harness. i might DD it for a little and see how bad it is.its more fun the my car

 

Man that's pretty sweet!!

I should get one of those for my rig...

 

ok well after a long weekend of sanding and painting i got the roll cage in the truck. It came out pritty good.I was going to get it powder coated but changed my mind and wanted to get it in this weekend.let me know what you guys think.also the truck handles better after installing it lol. I didnt think it would have made a difference

 

looks great.. but are you worried about loosing your sun visors

 

He wont lose them.
They snap out and rotate

 

lol yea i knew that.. i woulda just flipped em forward before the install haha

 

i've been planning getting one of these but with my dash swap idk if it'll fit. do you think you can measure from the bottom of the windshield to the cage for me?

 

Arent you not supposed to have a roll cage on a DD unless your wearing a helmet all the time? They do tests and stuff and figure out where the pillar is safe to be. Then you put that in and there's a metal bar a few inches closer to your head when you crash than was designed to be safe

 

sure johnny ill measure it when i get home tonight. But i think you should be fine there is room to move it back some 2 or 3inchs.And Whutface its not my DD its my little toy.

 

actually i just noticed i could just cut the bars at the top if it is to long but thanks anyways.

mine will be going in my dd. i have never heard anything about always having to wear a helmet though

 

After a while, you learn not to listen to the web wheelers.




If you're that worried about it, buy some padding to go around the tubing. Sissy.

 

i mean it would suck to hit your head on it. but if you're wearing a seat belt it couldnt be much worse than a piece of plastic over a stock metal pillar. plus i'm sure it is still alot safer than a stock tin can toyota cab.

 

update just to let everyone know marlin cralwer has the damn roll cage on sale this month i paid 399$ for mine and its on sale for 295$ make me want to

 

Ha I might have to take advantage of that!

 

Hey 94sasyota, was the installation pretty strait forward? Does it come with instructions? Did you have to notch and or cut the tubes at all? Did you tack weld everything inside the cab and finished it off outside? I just placed an order for one at $295.

 

yea not bad it took me about 7 hours to get it all tacked up. yes you have to cut and trim some of the tubeing. No instructions came with it but they have a picture of it on there web site. i moved two of the gussets from the drivers side and passagers side to the center bar thats the only thing i changed.

 

How about notching? I have a welder and cuter, but don't have a notcher on hand.

 

It is welded to the frame correct? and if so was it alot of work to rip up the carpet and weld it? or is it pretty straight forward?
