roll cage

[MoparYoungGun]

how much would a rool cage like this coast?

Meh, not too far.

Slap some casters on it and I'll bet money it flys!

i did my subframe connectors nearly the exact same way

[mustanghater]

can  you still get in and out ok?

Here are the pics of the new cage.

One thing I didn't like is how the bars come through the speaker box.. Gotta find another way to mount my rear speakers now. Any ideas?

Heres an inside shot

Heres the connectors they did.

The one thing that bothersme is how these are just welded flush to the rail. But If i have any problems Im Sure I can build a bracket around it and weld it on the side of the rail to.

last but not least the front of the connectors.

Verdict....



AWSOME

Car handles 10 times better. Dosnt feel like its 45 degs in a slow turn no more. Cant wait till i get my poly bushings in and rebuild the front, sway bar, 17 in wheels and better tires and a few other things done. I can see it now. Its gonna handle awsome. Musta been losing lots of power via chassis flex because I would chirp my tires on the 1-2 shift sometimes. But now every shift!  Feels good to have it done.


Downs
Dont like how the rear bar goes through the speaker boxes. And I forgot to ask to see if they could do the curve bar.(my bad) also the rear seat is going to be hard to get in an out. (But not my problem ). Might make that bar a swing out bar down the road to make it easier.

Excellent.....looks very nice ! The subframe connecters are fine....they look very sturdy. The hard part now is going to be hooking the beast up....no more lost power through the chassis flex....everything that's supposed to get to the rear wheels, will be ! Those front bars can be a pain,   but you'll get used to them. Interesting that he welded the 45* bars onto the driveshaft tunnel...it's different but i'm sure the added triangulation helps a bunch. Two thumbs up !

This shop knew what they were doing. You had to see some of the stuff they were building. I dont think a guy who owns two vipers and a couple drag cars would trust any shop to cut up his 2nd viper

Cool.

Everyone builds a cage a different way - I like to see photos. Thanks.

[CFMopar]

The photos are up...

Looks good.

Thanks for the pics guys.. They will come handy as a reference when I build a cage into my own ride..

Ron just wondering what your going to do with the rear dash panel? Do the bars run through your speaker holes aswell?

[firefighter3931]

I had mine run through the small holes in each corner of the rear package tray area. The speaker holes were left alone. Second gens have 2 holes in each corner approx 4in x 4in and that's where i had the trunk bars run. I'll have to make a few small cuts in the package tray cover to put it back on but that's it....other than the holes for the bars themselves.
