Building a "for show" cage...

mb523 · 05-28-2007, 03:33 PM

... for like speakers and lights, and for looks. I have materials already, just wondering how high from the floor boards others cages ( or roofs ) are for clearance getting in and out and such.

Any input is welcome! Thanks

just sit in it and measure your top of head to floorboard add a few inches....its really not hard

if you are a midget then you save materials if you are 7'10 then sucks to be you

LOL!!!

This idea kinda died... still thinking of some kind of bar in just the back, kinda like on a wakeboarding boat maybe just for some lights and for extra storage options.

Look at a Rhino's setup. They have speaker boxes, etc....

This was a factory roll bar out of a Chevy Blazer I cut down and welded back together. It cost me nothing but some time. You could do something like that and bolt it to your fenders. Its very strong and could easily handle a rollover

Dad and I were messing around with some ideas and came up with a good one. He had a whole bunch of 1/2" EMT and a bender for it. We took some measurements and bent the tubing. We used metal brackets to hold it to the cart and bolted it all together. It looks real good and it functional to hold small things. I also made a small removable rear seat for 1 person. I have pics, but don't want to upload them on this dialup connection. I will have them thursday!

OK finally got a chance to take some pics.

I mounted one of my old headlights on the top (the one that didn't die). It really illuminates the whole road!! I also fabbed a back seat with a piece of plywood and some bungee cords! Works like a charm.
