roll cage pics

[itsabronco]

Here is my cage that West Coast Broncos built. ( good guys, by the way...) I had a request for some pics. Couldnt figure out how to PM the pics, so here they are. Let see some others.

A few things that I would have done different:

I would of had LED lights installed on the tube in the middle

I would of had a tube installed across the back of the front seats with grab handles for rear seat passengers

Another tube across the bottom , back of front seats, for rear seat passengers to put there feet on. its not very fun thrashin around in rear seat with not much to grab onto !

And maybe tubes paralleling the sides of the front seats, going downward from back to front. Something else to grab onto .

West Coast Broncos does an awesome job. i just didnt think of the few extras that would be nice. I will be adding them though. just wish it was before I powder coated it !

Couldnt get too good of pics because its dumping rain outside !

One thing that I forgot to mention that is very cool is, they added two brackets to the top front tube for the windshield to attach to so it will not move around soooooo much. i was concerned for it being too solid and maybe breaking the glass for not being able to move at all, but man, it is nice. no problems what so ever...

Is it 1 3/4" pipe?

Whats the tab in pic 3 for?

I like the side grabs for passengers. How about a shot of the windshield tie ins?

Is that raptor-x liner?

Any thought to shoulder belts for the front seats?

Thanks for posting. The extra grab bars is what I was wanting to do to mine as well. I had same idea, just a little dif design maybe. My cage is pretty much like yours, give or take a bar here or there, depending where. Nice. Thanks again. I guess I need to get off my rear and do whatever so I can post some pics.

The tab in the third pic is a mount for a flag. here in So Cal, a flag is required in some places. Plus its cool to roll around sporting stars n stripes on such days as 9/11

Not sure on tube diameter at the moment. it is a bit smaller than the half cage i took out, but it has good wall thickness. it is one heavy MO FO !! i will try to remember to get my O.D. tape and measure. not too good at just a visual.

hard to get good pics of the windshield brackets. like i said, i was concerned of it being too stiff but ive had it in all kinds of twists and 2 wheels in the air conditions and glass is not broken.

The liner installed is Line-x maybe a So Cal thing ??

By the way, I love the wink mirror !!

Yes, shoulder belts after the tube behind the front seats.

Ahh a flag mount. Great idea!

I was just wondering on the tube diameter because it seems everyone goes with 2" out of tradition. I feel that 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" would be just fine. Yours looked less than 2" but thats just a pic.

What do they charge for a roll bar like that?

You can still run an LED light. It might take a bit of patience if you want to hard wire it.

I'd just get a battery powered one and bolt it on there. The battery will last for years and you dont have to worry about runnign wires.

tube diameter is 1 5/8 i believe.

WCB cages are typically 1-3/4" .120 wall HREW. Pretty sure that's what itsabronco's cage is made of.

I saw som battery LEDS on W/H. Might get those. I dont know the tube dia. but I will call John at WCB and ask.. The cost is right around $1500 no powder coat. I had mine powder coated at First Place Powder coat in Banning. Its a very solid cage. I hope I never have to find out "HOW" solid it is...

Great timing for a good thread, I gonna start my revamp of my cage for more head room so need all the ideas I can get!

I just got my contributor status to load pictures but I cant seem to load any pics with an ipad. Or maybe I am doing something wrong. I'll try from computer later....btw, just installed my hard doors for 1st time since purchase. The windshield was pushed out about 3/4 of an inch for I didnt know why at the time...til I turned my wipers on.

Im getting another cage from West Coast Broncos for my other '72. The pricing is around 14 to 15 hundred, painted. Powder coat is extra.
