Started the Toms Family Cage NEW PICS 5-24

[Ohio Bronco 21]

I figured I would go with the Hammered steel/gray color (rattle cans). It holds up pretty good and easy to touch up if scratched. I started some of it (in picture)

I liked that the front bars were cut extra long. This allowed me to place the center hoop back a little bit to keep the bar over my head back further.

Oh yeah, I see it now...very nice.

Got any tips on making sure these things go together smoothly. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on my own cage, so any tips are appreciated.

Pre fitting it together in the Bronco is a must. You need to have a helper for sure and get some ratcheting straps to hold things together once you get going. Tac it in place and then move it out to do the heavy duty welding. Im sure others here have some even better tips. While in the Bronco cover everything up very good and have your helper keep an eye out while your welding (be sure to cover the windshield).

Great job! Looks a lot like the Bronco Bob (all 4 fun) cage I've had in the garage for 7 years .

How do you like that Bronco Bob Cage??

 

[77Red]

It's held up really well to 4 moves over the years and still looks great. It should be even better when I finally put it together and into the Bronco (hopefully this summer ). Lots of projects to do before then...

I see, I thought you had already put it together.

Thanks!

Well, I got he cage lifted into the Bronco (a friend stopped by). I still have to bolt her down.
