Anybody here running one?  I really need to have some extra beef in my 2-door.  Just wondering if anybody has one, if they had any problems installing it, etc.

I've got one in my green Sidekick. Works good EXCEPT if you're tall, then it'll be uncomfortably close. I'm 6'5"...

               I also have the Calmini Rollcage and I like it. The one little problem I had was no instuctions on how it went together. Some little floor plates didn't get used and I ran the rear runners off the main hoop down to the floor instead of the wheelwell which is a better place I think but backseat don't fit (don't use it anyways).
           To save from hitting your head find some rollbar padding, The hole is off centered. It only takes 1 hit and you'll know you'll need it.

P.S. The front V-bar faces forward/ upward otherwise it blocks the rearview mirror.

Any pictures?

be right back with some.

I just ran out to the garage so excuse the mess.

Mess....... Mess !!  All my $|removethispart|@#% is out in the
Friggin Rain, I don't have a garage at this house,
I'd take your mess over mine, as least it's dry.

Thanks for the pics.  Mine's on a truck, on the way to me now (I hope).  $150 to ship it!    Now I gotta find somebody that can do all the welding on it!

How much welding is required?  It sounds like they ship it mostly assembled, for it to need to be sent by motor freight.  How does it mount to the floorboards, and is this strong enough?

Oh, and what's the distance between the two top pipes?

Just can't wait to figure all this out for myself...

Here's another site with some pics of the Calmini cage:

WoW that kick is PIMP'N  

That was one problem I had was finding some one to weld it. must shops charged 50 bucks an hour and couldn't tell me how long it would take. My little bro works as a mech and got a freind to do it for 100 bucks and it took 5hrs. We managed to put the rear down tubes to the floor but I think its a stronger spot than the wheelwells.
         I don't live in a great nieghborhood so the Trackers always in the garage at night.

I've seen the results of the petroworks "sport bar" in a sami that rolled, and was extreemly unimpressed with it's strength.

How do the calmini ones compare?

If my life may be on the line...

Perhaps it's a good starting plain for modifying further???

There is a reason they call them sport bars. Elimination of liability.

It's 1.75 X .120 DOM tubing.  Don't know about Petroworks cage.  Anybody rolled one of these beasties?

 Of COURSE!  It's probably made from recast flywheels from gyroscopes, in inertial navigation stable platforms, so would be almost impossible to tip over!
