Default Wolfe 8.50 cage chomoly???

Anyone have ordered and installed a pre bend and nothced Wolfe Racecraft chromoly 10pt cage? Where you would just need it to be welded up

Did it fit nice? Did the notches and tubes all match up nice? or did you have to modifly it to work?

Picture would be wonderfull!

I am going from a 6-point bolt in steel to a 10-pt moly now.

Thank you

I have a wolfe CM 10 point in my car. The cage took some minor tweaking to get things to fit how I wanted them too. I did have 1 bar that was bent/cut wrong and they quickly sent me a new one

Not on this computer or on my photobucket as I did the install 4 years ago. I can look on my old PC for install pics.

I can snap some finished pics later

You will pretty much need to do some extra tweaking when it comes to roll cages. Nothing major though. Plus we have stand up sponsors on here that can always assist you.

dschmittie1- My biggest concern is the pillar bars. I have a triple gauge pod and was wondering if the Wolfe kit clears behind the gauges. If you can spend me a update picture, the door bars and pillar bars that would be great.... here is my email artls1@comcast.net when you get a chance.

Blackpanther99- Yeah I don't mind doing minor tweaking to make it fit how I want. I just don't want to have to buy more bars and have someone local bent them over.

I can get more pics tonight but the triple gauge pillar is not going to fit. I sold mine and got these roll bar mounted pods. I like this better than the triple pillar anyway

here are some pics. they aren't the greatest. Just ones I snapped quick. the only things I wish I had done differently would have been the over the seat rear bars as now it I want to do mini tubes I have to redo the 2 rear bars. Also I wish the windshield bar would have been a little higher as it blocks the rear view mirror

I do have subframe connectors and I have had them years before the cage went in. Some people will say with the cage you dont need subframe connectors

Maybe I should get them to help stiffin up the suspension? I don't know??

How does your window net work? I did not think it was possible with swing outs.

Sorry for all the questions!
