Sage cage advice
I have been looking into the available cage kits for 1st. gens. So far it looks like your best bet is to fab your own design. But that's not in my deck of cards. Company's like S&W , CSC, etc. make kits but so far I don't know which way to go. Right now it look's like the 10 point cage from S&W is the way to go. Just the welding and install will cost as much as/or more than the cage kit and shipping combined. Any help/pic's out there guy's? Along the same lines are rock sliders that tie into the frame and bumpers.

Re: Sage cage advice
Someone else will chime in with first hand experience - I don't have any experience with cages but keep reading good things about S&W.
Don't think I've welcomed you yet to the board so Welcome!

Re: Sage cage advice
We fabbed mine, not hard really, just takes pattience. You might do well with a kit though because it will probably save you on tubing costs. I would stick with 120 wall DOM over chromolly... less critical on welding requirements. If you decide you HAVE to have chromolly, TIG it for sure. (Heck, Id tig it anyhow) If you dont weld, you ought to be able to find a board member that knows how to weld that would help you out.

Re: Sage cage advice
Hey, anybody got any pic's of your cages? I really need some help here! VT has helped me a lot with his sage advice. I have to get this cage setup so I can move on with this resto. I will try to post some pic's of my rig, and start a new thread when I start the actual wrenching. Let's go!

Re: Sage cage advice
I am right between Flint and Lansing. There are several members in the Michigan area. We are having a cookout on June 16th if you'd like to come over for it.

Re: Sage cage advice
Gonna talk to my bud and see what it cost's to get the bigger dies for his bender. I'll by them, he can bend my cage for cheap, and sell many more for $$. Anybody got any new pic's of cages?
