Now if you dont have the subframes that weld to the rocker panels, it isn't considered full frame and you'll need a 6 point ROLL CAGE for 10.00

Art Morrison cages are the best hands down, no competition. He is nationaly known for his cages. He is local in the seattle/ Tacoma area so almost everyone out here runs his stuff. He is also an excellent chassis builder

FYI, I spoke to Wolfe last week, and their 6-pt. chromoly cage is 20# lighter than their mild steel.

I don't wanna have to rip out my rear speakers, so Which cages mount in the rear (in the "trunk" area)? I would rather sacrifice cargo area (all .2 ft of it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ) rather than butchering my speakers/grills.
