Roll Cages

I kinda mentioned it in the Pro Street thread but nobody really said anything so I figured I would start a new one.

Alright here is my question I would like to put a cage in the truck this winter. I am having a hard time finding one though, should I order one if I can? Or should I buy all the tubing and bend it at a buddies shop? My only concern about doing it all myself is getting all the notches really tight, I hate when you see a cage and it looks like the filled a 1/4 gap in with weld, to me thats not safe I go to school for welding and in the right situation that weld would probably crack under stress. Also are you guys TIG welding your cages? I love doing this type of fabrication work but I have never built a roll cage before so I want to do it right and have it look professional. Whats your guys thoughts?
