My blazer isn't going to be a trail-rig or anything like that, but It will haul the family up to the mountains for camping and around town for fun. It will also serve as my daily driver.
First thing: I am no expert. This is my opinion only.

My cage was designed by a NASCAR chassis fabricator and built using materials and techniques he specified. I also had my welds x-rayed. Computer modeling,structural analysis and existing chassis designs point to a 200 mph barrel roll and holding structural integrity!!!

Stingray has a very valid point, talking about installing these seats in our old iron. You should have a pro take a look at it. I didn't trust my children's lives to it "looks good enough".
