What products are Jeep guys into?

Ballpark price to build something like this out of .085 - .095 1-1/2 tube?

It's for a Polaris RZR
Obviously I would deliver the machine to your shop.

We've done 100's of cages from simple DIY weld-on tubes to full on tube chassis.  All the work here is 100%custom to the owners vehicle so usually we need your vehicle here in order to build something (however there is about a 6month+ waiting list right now due to 4-5 full builds we are working on).  I'll see if I can come up with some pics of the trail cages we did before... we're rebuilding our forums so we've been going through a lot of old photos.  You can check our forums for photos too... or the facebook page... we will be posting a lot more as we rebuild the threads.

Thats why a DIY kit would be ideal. Just cut me tubes to length with the correct tube angles and Ill weld them in. Then you dont need my jeep and I dont have to wait 6 months.

Sounds like it might be easier to just order from psc.

Cant wait for the bushwacker sale!! Any ideas when that will be? I will start counting my pennies....

Anytime you want it to be!  I was waiting for January just because it's Xmas time and I'm not sure what the delivery schedule for our distributer is... but if you would like to put in an order anytime I can take it for you.

Usually we use .250 wall DOM... but something like that could be around $500-$800 depending on amount of material used, if you wanted it fully removable or completely welded in, coating etc....

If you want a bolt in kit, then there's lots of companies for that.  If you want a fully custom one of a kind cage, then that's what we normally do.  It's all up to what the customer is looking for.

Your the one asking us what we are looking for. LOTS of guys want DIY front cage kits. Hence the reason so many companies make them. Evo has wicked design and styling that why I thought they should be a contender.

The fact is, I wouldn't order something without seeing at minimum a couple pictures and without a price.

You wanted product idea's, I gave you one...just saying.

No problem, and I totally agree.  DIY stuff is where it's at and getting something that is already bent & coped & ready for you to weld is much easier than waiting in line. 

On another note, we can order in OR-Fab cages for the YJ, CJ, TJ and JKs.  http://www.orfab.com/applications.php?Application=Jeep&Category=Sport-Cages&Active=Yes

hey Aaron just flat fender armour the sides. I have done full pivots on my fenders and all I did was scratch the paint off.

For the next project that I am collecting bits and pieces for nothing out of the box will bolt right up other than a ARB front bumper.

Ok, I'm definitely interested, but it's going on a machine that only ways about 1,ooo lbs so I want to keep it as light as possible and still retain appropriate strength. The consensus on the UTV forums is about .090 wall is plenty strong for these machines.

I'll be in contact in the next month or so.

How about something completely different?  A package that allows someone to run a Willys body onto a TJ running system.  Merge the old school with the new school.  Or less intensive, items to allow this type of swap to occur more easily, instead of completely DIY'ing the entire thing.

I have one for you if you have a plasma table and a brake. building a DIY M101 Trailer. You cut and bend the 4 sides and bottom and it is our responsibility to build the frame, get an axe and have the inspection done.

[EVOLUTION]

Bnine:  I am a whizz on the plasma table now so I can cut you those brackets again.  I can't remember the dimensions though so you'll have to refresh my memory.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.. there are some pretty cool ideas in here.  I am a big Jeep fan... have always been, so I guess I sort of lean more towards Jeeps than anything else.  The Comanche steering & control arm setup is almost finished.  I cut the last of the brackets today.  once it is all welded up, we'll test it & I'll post it up.  The heim joint Clay designed for it is awesome.

Aaahh DubbleJ...once again the peacemaker!! It was getting to be quite a heated debate!!

I'm with waytec on the m101. That's a great idea!
