Title: Rollcage
Post by: ed oorklep on May 13, 2004, 05:19:17 AM: Hi all,

I'm thinking about making a Roll-cage in my Tracker. I've seen the Calmini Sport Bar (http://www.puresuzuki.com/Sidekick-Cagefs.jpg) and like to make something simular but then also over the rear seats and with some diagonally placed tubes also, has anyone done this allready here??? Does anyone have any pictures of such Cages?
Thanks for any replies.

But yeah, adding to the Calmini sport cage would probably be easiest. I'm guessing that shipping to the Netherlands would be outrageous, though. I think the shipping on mine, from Bakersfield, CA, to Denver, CO was something like $100.

Post by: ed oorklep on May 17, 2004, 11:11:05 AM: Yeah indeed shipping will cost pretty very much :-[ Now I'm looking to buy a calmini winch bumper that will cost me about 800 euro's (that's about 950 :o USD) so it will cost me twice as much as it costs you guys, although I can't make a bumper of that quality (I hope) for that price myself, but a rollcage will be an option..... ;D
