Rear cages for Trackicks
« on: January 12, 2005, 04:02:23 AM »
 ??? Hey does anyone have pictures and/or ideas on installing a rear cage to the Cal Mini front cage. I want to cover the rear seats but still be able to use the rag top and a hard top. I'm doing this to a 1990 Tracker. Any info would be helpful pictures are worth a thousand words. Cheers.

Hmm...

Don't know how well that would work.

As I see it, the top folds back into the exact place you'd want to anchor a rear roll bar.

Look at some of Hagen's black tracker. You could also remove the rear seatbelt horns and have some more room.

Even though I've removed the rear seat (for now), I would never remove the rear belts.  Yeah, the towers are in the way a bit, but if I put the seat back in, and have a rear passenger, they WILL be belted in!

I meant to remove the towers and then after the cage bolt the uppermount to the cage :-/ just to give more
room for base plates

i built this cage but i dont see why you couldnt do the same behind a calmini cage ,i didnt like the idea of bumping my head or nee every time i got in so i removed the dash and ran my tobes along the side of the body as close to the windshield frame as possable then used a 2'' holesaw to cut corner of dash out and put dash back in ,only took 6 hrs from start to finish.

I have been working on and planning to build a  full cage for several years now.

Wild,ppltrak, zukizzy  looks like we should have a roll cage building party. Who has space. I have a 3 stall garage of which 2 stalls are psudo shop.  I could host. I don't have a bender either but was considering one of those harbor freight jobbies.. Yeah I know cheap junk but I don't need a 5K dollar tube shark. I just need to bend some tube..

Does anyone have one of the Harbor Freight Tube benders?
Does it do the job or is it 100 bucks worth of crap?

I also saw that HF had tubing knotchers for like 40 bucks...May come in handy too.

mesjr2004 I like the way you hugged the windsheild on the inside. Looks Kick Ass

Zukizzy has a little 4000 Sq Ft
shop with all the tubing goodies
and a 2 pole lift, my kind of playground

See the "Wild Doors" post, that's in the shop

You can still fully use the tops with this set up. Though I have removed my back seat to haul my camping gear you can still fully access the rear by side or rear door and still use the rear seat (with belts). I also opted for the Kick it when you get in lay out in the front. If I did it over I would definately take the front hoop through the dash to get it out of the way, but it is not to bad once you get use to it.

I am getting rid of rear passenger all together to I will make a few changes to the cage before long (cross bars behind seats for harness mounts for one.

HTH,
Zig

It bends thick tube fine, but I'd be scared bending material thinner than 1/8".
