Roll Cage

hey junkie what size tubing is that???

 

[4x4junkie]

u didnt put any bushing or flexing points in there???

No need. It's bolted to the floor of the body, not the frame. Going all the way to the frame would be beneficial in extreme cases, but for a street-able crawler/wheeler used on trails where speeds are relatively low, the floor is fine as long as you spread the load out using wide plates so they can't tear through it.

Tubing is 1.5" x .120 wall DOM 1020.

I would go a little farther then junkie did. Your already making a cage buy the 100-115ft you need to build a cage and proper triangulation. I would hate to build a cage to have it only last one flop or roll, when you could have added a few more feet and have it hold up to multiple rolls. Make sure you mount your seats according to how your cage is mounted. Body mounted cage, body mounted seats (cage mounted would work here too). Frame mounted cage, cage mounted seats.
