Cage we made at work (ignore the mess )

 

Mine. Tied to frame at all six points. Joints at the posts will allow for the tub to be removed.

Nice work Jason. Checked out your work website too. If the cash fairy stops by I might check ya'll out.

 

well mine is pretty weak compaired to the others.

 

Nice looking work. I want a cage in mine before long.

 

what mess?.... looks normal to me..

 

Some of my flattie. I'm out of attachment space to post the ones of my CJ-6, Wrangler, and Willys pickup.

 

Whats the story with the doors on the flatte?? Also if your out of att. space you can create a photobucket account.

 

Sparky can get that man some more space!

 

i am planning on building my own cage (will be my first time bending tube)... can it be done with an arc welder or does it really need to be MIG'd?

any tips?

 

You can use an arc welder, but unless you're VERY proficient with it it's probably going to look pretty bad. I've seen a few done that way and they just don't look too good.

You could build it and use your arc welder to tack it all together, then take it somewhere you can MIG the final welds.

 

What type of bender and tube did you guys use????

and size?? 1.75??

Don't bother with the degree ring. I've got a 1-3/4 180-degree 5.5-inch CLR die, a 1.5 180-degree 4.5-inch CLR, and a 1-inch 180-degree 3-inch CLR die. I've used them all, but the 1-3/4 gets the most use. I'd like a 1-1/4 inch die, but I can't justify it since I don't use that tubing too often.

All of my cages are 1-3/4 DOM. I'll use 1.5-inch DOM for dash bars, seat mounts, and certain other areas. 1-inch is for smaller stuff like gauge mounts, grab handles, fairlead mounts, etc.

 

Nice job on the cages.
