Mine is fully "caged" mounts to frame in 8 places. :finger: As for necessity, I think it is a matter of how, when and where you are wheeling.

Kind of the way the cookie crumbled for me. Current body isn't worth putting a cage in. No excuse, I should have a cage, but my resources are limited. So I have to plan ahead. In the meantime, I stay off of trails which might result in more than a slow flop. Cruising down the feeway is what scares me most.

I really dont like the 6 points they take to long to put on so alot of the times people dont put them on. and then when they do its usely just the lap belt. I did put some lap belts in my rig to that i can put on when my rig is all sidways. as for head lights i dont have them yet but rock lights i do have so i know what im driveing over so stay out of my way or i will be seening you as im going over you!

You are absolutely correct! I have already made plans to have mine made/installed. Money has been the factor in not having a cage yet. With 2" tube hovering in the $3 per foot price range has not been helping matters either. I know where I can "play" and not risk a roll-over. Ohhhhhhh...but just wait till the cage is in....I'll show ya action pix! :cool:
