IF YOU CAN GAIN ACCESS TO A BENDER DO WHAT I DID
MAKE YOUR CAGE EXTERNAL IF IT'S DONE RIGHT IT LOOKS PRETTY COOL. BESIDES IT CUTS DOWN ON BODY DAMAGE I KNOW CHICKS DIG BODY DAMAGE. SO FOR WE'VE BUILT FIVE OF THEM

I know a front cage would be Idea but several of us in our club have opted for just a sturdy rear cage. At least I wont get knocked unconcious by the cage when I tip over, and The top wont go flat. If I were shorter I would go with a full cage. In the future I may figure out a way to get a full cage in there... ::) ;D

I'm 6'3" (last time I check, I could be shrinking in my old age) and have the full Calmini rollcage in my Tracker with plenty of headroom.
I have the cage padded and just rest my head on it, this way I don't bounce my head off of it ;)

I wished I redid my main hoop to be like Mikes. Thats the right way to do it.
Tall enough to support the roof b-4 crushing it, not after.

I hope I'm not getting shorter. I do carry alot of heavy stuff all day and that will do it for ya. ;D
