ROLL-CAGE IS FINISHED! (Patreon)

Got the roll-cage 100% finished, cut out, boxes removed, dropped down, and fully welded up! While the cage is dropped down and we have some extra room, I’m going to be applying sound deadening to the ENTIRE top of the cab. It’ll eventually be added everywhere else too, but not until later down the line.

Super happy with how everything turned out! Debating adding one diagonal bar to the main hoop since people raised some concerns about that. What do you think? Keep the “window” open, or add a diagonal bar?

Keep it open, tube is slightly angles so already kinda acts as a triangle

That cage looks sick! Nice work! I say add the diagonal. From a structural standpoint the diagonal in the window is safer, but depending on what all extensions you do out the back of the cab to the bed/frame you may not need it. I'd say leave it out for now and see what else you do and maybe add one later in the build but before you ✨finish✨ the cage. Hindsight is 20/20 and it's easier to add a bar now than to add one later once it's all painted and done and ripping around.

I’d say better safe than sorry and add the diagonal bar. It may not make too much of a difference but it’s extra protection and extra peace of mind. The cage looks amazing though!

Very good points! Although it’s also much easier to add the bar now with the cage dropped down than when it’s back on the boxes 🤔I’ll play around with it tomorrow!

Gingium

True, plus all my little triangles. Idk what tech at drift events will think about that though lol

Gingium

Yea I agree. Plus it’ll make tech at certain events easier.

Carlo Vicenzetto

Don’t they have some kind of rulebook? Worst case you redesign the cage on solidworks and do a stress analysis in it, steel is plenty strong and I don’t think you’ll be falling off a cliff and roll down a mountain at a drift event

Or, this is a stretch, but how would vertical bars where the window sills are look? You would have the 2 vertical bars with small triangles on the top and bottom of each.

Ricardo R.

That way the window is still fully visible because the bars are in line with the window sills and the window is still easily openable

“Streetable” no bar, easy to get in and out, depends on how far down the bar will be,

Jamie

Add the bar now cos it'll look cooler :P

Kyle Ryan

it will be fine without the bar

Stefanie Bol

maybe make a removable one ?
