bolt or weld in cage? i was wondering what everyone had and what is the diff (besides the welding) between the bolt in and weld in... is it better to weld in than bolt on?? i was also wondering, i may not want the cage after a while and/or sell the car, how would i take the welded one out?? just barely take it in place or is it just stayin there?? thanks for the help guys
and i dont know what im gonna run with the new set-up, i have zero passes, but hopefully low 11's for now

yeah, thats what i thought also, and has anyone or anyone you know taken out a weld in cage? how did you do it and how was the outcome- did it just totally mess up the cage and where it was connected, thanks again!
I would imagine you would have to cut out a welded cage with either a torch or a grinder which will probably make a mess of the car and cage.IMO. If you want it permanent and strong go with a welded cage. If for some reason will need to take the cage in and out of the car go with the bolt in.

Yes makes a real mess of the car, can save the cage with a lil work. I look at it like this, If at 120+ i crash and roll would I rather have a few bolts holding together my protection, or have my protection permanatly attached to my transportation. I have seen more good bolts brake then good welds. My vote is for weld in.
