Re: Crash Cage Pics
You know how much steel costs? You could build a cage for probably $20
$20-$30, a few hours of work, and you could possibly have something that is a way better design then anything out there..
But ya, if you love your job, and you make good money, just buy one.

Re: Crash Cage Pics
I built my 12 bar for $2.50 (other then bolts/washers/nuts) and my radiator cage with left over steel from my 12 bar
Unless you make a lot at your job, I think its more effective to build one.. I mean, I don't make over $12 a hour right now, I'd have to work 20 hours (not even including taking out taxes) to afford a SI cage..
Or I could build one in about 2-3 hours, for around $20-$30 in scrap steel from the scrap yard :YEAH

Re: Crash Cage Pics
well hell ya
aint no use in buying steel by the length, when I can get what I need by the pound :YEAH
You can call my 12 bar **** all you want, but at $2.50 in steel, and a lil over a hour in work, its ******* solid as a rock. Definitely happy I did that instead of blowing $100 on one!

Re: Crash Cage Pics
I didn't build my cage, but I did **** this POS cage up that I got, and im building one here in the next week or two.
It is weak as ****. I'm building a cage of a totally different design.. Buuuuut this stuntaid garbage I got, did last for over 2 years, and me learning everything I know! circles and all..
Just saying, building your own cage can be worth it.. Considering the cheapest good cage available is $250 shipped (SI)

Re: Crash Cage Pics
I built all my **** and this cage hits the ground 3 times a day and has not budged a bit. Plus it cost me about 30 bucks to make minus the delrin which i bought two 2ft sticks of it for 30 bucks. So it is much cheaper to build ur own **** and have it rite now or u can spend 250+ and pay for shipping and get it when ever. hell i even bult my first round bar :YEAH
