Custom Roll Cage for a Jeep

[motobilt]

I have not been on the board much lately. Mostly just lurking in the background. We have been very busy at the shop. We recently built this simple cage for a customer / friend. I thought I would share a few things we have been working in with you guys. I will make some more posts soon. BTW... thanks for all the messages we get from readers of this forum.

Some how my view of simple and yours are a little different. Lol

I see it's body mounted. Will any mounts be made to affix it to the frame?

 

[JonBoehman]

Simple??? Now your being a show off. Lol!

The customer will have the option to tie into the frame. We did provide plates to do so.

That looks great. Is there a formula or method for determining how many bars and where they will be tied together?

Nice! You've probably posted this somewhere before but what are you using for a tubing bender and how do you like it?

Always a gauranteed click if its posted by Motobilt. Amazing stuff.

Can I put in a request...?

Im getting ready to setup my new shop, and will I do primarily furniture (steel and wood mostly);

As always, great stuff.

I use a JMR MFG hydraulic bender and like it a lot. Its built to last. Call Jim at JMR direct or contact Trick Tools.

Follow us on Instagram. @motobilt_inc we post a LOT of pictures from around the shop. Our shop consists of basically 3 different shops under one roof. We perform different task in each area.

Yes, there is math involved. My friend and ex-employee Rob Park wrote this article for Pirate4x4 years ago. It is a great start for those wanting to learn. You can also check out the software Bend-Tech.

Let me know if I can ever help with anything.
