This was my fear when looking into the available EB cages on the market. A mild roll will tweak the cage pretty easily. That is why I built my own:

You need to add a couple cross bars and triangulate at least one end. A cross bar in front of the dash is easy to install, and add a few gussets in some locations.

You can see my complete cage install HERE:

That price is great I did mine myself and paid that just in materials. I made my cage with the bends going with the body line. This cage has unfortunatly been tested at 70 mph and held up and saved my life. The pic is before the high speed roll over, and before the cage was finished
Nice EB

Amac-I really wanted to build my own, but my wife really wants the Bronco back on the road, She won, of course it cost her some dough, gotta love her.
brian72-I'm going to build my own tie-ins, probably like completeoffroads, with isolating bushings. Don't know about the auxilary tank, will see.
Yellow75-It comes unwelded and extra long, I had to cut it to fit my rig, It cost $200 to ship out to Oregon.
Jeepincj7-That is a nice cage, I thought about adding the side bars to run parallel to the bed, after that picture I will be adding them and the dash bar.
rbuday-Nice cage also, I wanted the joy of saying I built my own, but it has been too long of a project anyway, I'll build my next one. Hopefully I won't test mine at 70mph, OUCH!!!!
adambronco74-The footplates came with the kit, they are 3/16".

Looks Great, can you take some pics of the arm next to the glove box and how you marry the frame to cage through the body??

How much was shipping??
Here is a picture of the bar next to the glovebox.

If you add the center bar, bend a little grab handle right in the middle. I LOVE my little grab handle in the middle. I use it constantly when wheeling, and it keeps me from grabbing the upper spreaders and the outer grab handles in the event of a roll over. I value my fingers.
