My cage Idea

I was board and thinking of cage Ideas and this is what i came up with.
I want the rear seats facing backwards (the kids will stay cleaner), and i don't like the way most cages look with the squared off back section. Im also taking off a few inches from the top and adding a trail stinger for the front bumper like you see on Jeeps. Spare tire carrier and a cooler cage on the back. Of course I will have to make sure the top of the cage is tall enough to be safe for everyone inside. I will be ordering steel next week and get this thing started soon. The wife wants to start riding and camping so were are looking at the July ride fore sure.

That looks cool. I want to put a new cage on mine. :afro:

The cage looks cool. I'm not a big fan of the front "stingers", but that's just my opinion, and we all know what they say about opinions.

my gf's dad put a jeep seat in the back rear facing and the kids hit their heads on the roll cage multiple times

Looks Great :) I have our seat facing Backwards and never have that Problem :) Of course it has the Mount and the seat Back is probably 3-4 inches from front of Bed :) Next thing id Rear Cage for ours like stated about time for the Family Rides

love the design - but I caution you on taking a few inches off the top - especially with rear facing kid seats - need all the crumple room you can get - worst case scenario I know, but has to be considered....

I thought about lowering mine - decided against it when I put on my 4 pt harn and moto-x helmet.... just not enough room as it as really..... I do love that rear tire carrier and angled rear end definitely!

Yea, I need to order the rear seat first and get that mounted to figure out how much room I need. A friend suggested keeping it the stock height just in case I decide to sell it someday and upgrade the buyer will not have any issues that may break the deal.

I've got the PDS FAb Seat Lowering bases - 6'1" and there is an issue with my helmet on. not a big one - but on some whoops I can feel it already. i suggest sitting in with gear on and have someone physically measure - we didi this in mine and I have 1" of clearance with my helmet

Heard that. I've got about 2 inches clearence ,sinched-down, aftermarket seats would probbly not work in mine, but honsetly execpt for the lack of side-bolsters, I like the stockers. Another plus for lowered cages is the reduction of tree drag, we've all done it, leaned the cage over and scraped a tree. Nothing at all wrong with the stocker or it's height, I honselty feel too vunerable with the stock cage,although they must be strong, I've seen them take some pretty hard hits.

onething i also forgot - is after market cage top cross pieces are in a much better place than the stock cage cross pieces, so i csn see why it would be a ton easier to get more room with an aftermarket cage.
