[QUOTE="BPINAZ, post: 545577, member: 10155"] I'm considering rebuilding my cage. My current cage doesn't have enough head room and I honestly do not think it would hold up in a bad rollover. I've researched a lot on Pirate and on HL, but I'm confused on what material to use......Sch 80 1.5" steel pipe or spend the extra money for 2" .250 DOM. I'm planning on doing the entire cage connecting every joint with a node, triangulation, and gussets instead bends. My new plan will be a very simple 2 seater similar to the top pic, but put together like the bottom pic. It'll be dovetailed, no cab, and a lot of different angles supporting each other. I need some feedback from the real builders.......I figure that if ya'll can build a rock bouncer that survives the abuse, then you probably know you stuff. Also, all I have is 110 Mig Welder that uses flux core. I read on Pirate that if done properly, flux core is stronger.......I don't know for sure. I took the pics off of Pirate. 1. What about the pipe vs DOM? 2. Would it be a strong design for a lightweight all Toyota drivetrain and 22RE on 39.5's? [/QUOTE]
