Here U go  :)

Top View:

Back View: Uprights allow for full movement of factory seat and stock seatbelt locations.

Another rear view: Notice Sami Wind jammer rear window ( does pull tight but not tight in picture)

Front view: Legs are a bit annoying at first but once I got use to it I like having the brace to sit my leg on while riding to hold myself in place tighter.


I plan on doing away with the rear seating all together (now I put the seat in when needed) and just use the rear for cargo. When I do this I will add cross supports to the middle hoop and a harness instead of the factory seatbelt.

The entier cage is bent and welded into place. The mounts to the body are welded to the cage then bloted to the body by sandwiching the floorboard between two peices of plate of different sizes (to keep from sheering off). When I do the middle hoop support I am also going to tie the cage directly to the frame.

The rear window just happned to fit. I tried the Kick/tracker windo and it would not work with the roll cage. So I use a Kick Bikini Top, The Sami rear window and a Kick Duster Deck cover cut to work with the rear loop.

So which would be better, a Calmini Full Cage, or a custom rear-cage like Mike's?

well this was mostly about how big the driver is i'm 6'4" 330lbs so a full cage would take up to much space. that is why i'm doing a custom rear cage.
