    That's a great looking tube twiddler. The only thing it doesn't have is a drink holder!

      A "bolt in" cage is better than no cage.

      Plus, we all know that bolts aren't intended to support a large shear force, so you shouldn't use them for such a force in the first place. What "bolt in" cage MFR uses bolts in shear? I have never seen one that does (not saying there isn't any, I just wanna know so I am sure to never point someone towards that MFR).

      As for seeing a roll with a "bolt in" cage, I have seen them. The cages are usually destroyed, but the drivers/passengers all walked away. The cage therefor did it's job.

      Price is soon forgotton, quality is not.

        Thank you, my feelings too. A bolt-in would work for me since I'll not be doing ultra hard core stuff, just looking for a little added protection w/o having to alter much if anything. This is possible.

          Tom,

          You dont need to be doing "ultra hard core stuff" to need a nice cage. A wrong line at TDS (which is usually very easy stuff) can result in a nasty roll. Usually the wrong line rock crawling will result in your Jeep on its side, but not upside down. Unless of course, you end up with your nose or rear pointing in the air, and go nose over tail or vice versa. Which Ive seen some close calls.

          Anyway, as theyve said, a bolt in is better then nothing.
