Default S&W roll cage 10pt

To any and all who have installed one of these. I was wondering if u had pics of the final product, especially of the "around the dash" bars and the one that goes behind the dash. Did u leave the dash in? Can the dash still be taken out or will the bars need to be cut for that? Thanks

Well I just looked on my instruction sheet and there isnt a part # anywhere, which I think is odd. Im gonna call em tomorrw. I looked on their web site and found 2 part numbers 11-1530TD-DOM and 11-1530-DOM. The first is listed as thru the dash, the second has no description.

Personally I don't like the around the dash bars. It looks like it would get in the way. I went with the through dash bars from S&W. It fit better than any cage I've seen in person on a 4th Gen. Here are some pics of the finished product.




I left the dash bar out, and still have heat so I can defrost my windows.

That does fit nice, we did a kit from another company and it was about 6" too narrow on both sides. Right in the spare bar bin it went.

S&W sent me the around the dash bars first by mistake, I called them and they sent the thru the dash bars next day shipping. Good service and a great product!

Mine looks close to Vortec355 except I took the extra bars and installed sill bars to tie the front to the back!

I am 6-4 and could not see me even getting in the car with the around the dash bars!

have installed a lot of SW cages. they fit well esp for the money. i had a spell where they were not fitting as well. so i started bending my own. but will tell you this unless you buy enough tubing you are not saving much by bending them yourself.
