Re: AD Trucks with Roll Cage - Pics?

I've had something similar to B-mac's bar, rolling around in my head.

I don't think a whole roll cage is necessary, just a little added safety. I'm also planning on adding some hat channel to the bottom of the cab and a couple more cab mounts.

Another thought that came up, was adding some hoops to the front part of the frame. The inner fender wells on modern vehicles are structural. Almost like a cage in itself. I've seen some crash tests done on early trucks, the sheet metal crumbles like a tin can.

Something like this Schwartz Chassis is what I had in mind.
