So I decided to custom build a sick roll cage!!!!! pics inside. (56k crash and burn)
Well i saw my friends rock crawler that he built and it inspred me to get creative and build a 6 point roll cage, but retain a full interior. And here is how the story goes.
Got to his shop at his house on a monday afternoon.
Went to check out the rock crawler
After seeing that, I had to go in the shop and get to work.
Gutted!
Here are the tools that we used.
The ill welder
This sick *** pipe bender
And lastly the notching tool
Can't forget the 100 feet of 1 5/8" diameter 1/4" thick diesel *** piping
Before we get started let me make sure that the torch is working just in case we need it
mmmmmmmm works like a charm!!!
now lets get creative and make one sick *** cage!!!
Every point was plated. mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, what a sexy weld.
I love the way that kicker bar hugs the dash
After working on it for a few hours each night we finally got it done.
Now we paint.
I sanded it, primed it, sanded it again, painted it silver, and cleared it. I used the duplicolor truck and suv paint. It worked out good, and it goes on nice and thick.
When its all cleaned up, i will post pics with the interior back in.

Looks nice as stated....one question....are you SURE it was 1/4 inch thick tubing? That would be .250 in a decimal. If so....that is WAAAAYYYYYYY to thick. All you need is .134. If you went with .250 wall thickness, who knows how much un-neccasary weight you added. Just my thoughts...but it does look really nice. Is that flux-core welding or no? Doesnt look like it since there is no spatter but does look like it because of all the brown "sutty" powder **** around the weld.

if you can actually find one, probably about $500. and what you want is a TUBING bender...a pipe bender you can buy new for like $75 or les, but they will kink tubing. the one that the guy advertised on this thread...he wanted like $900 for it I think. you could buy them new from pro-tools.com for around $700.

Props for making something that looks good.
Of course, it isn't legal, it would probably collapse in a rollover, and it must weigh 300 pounds if it is really 1/4" thick!
