rollcage prices??

I just recommend getting it atleast pre-notched until you buy a notcher. Chrome moly is usally alot more expensive than mild steel. Remember no grinding on the welds or bars afterwards. Single pass on the welds. Check out wild rides.

Thanks for the input guys. I was hoping to go with chromoly just for the weight savings aspect. I'm going to check on prices though and see what I can realistically afford. It does sound like a lot of work to do even with the help of my pops. I'm probably going to order one from Competition Engineering...or Jegs, like The Jester recommended...and pay to get it professionally installed. I'm not the most patient person...and that sounds like a headache waiting to happen. Is there any tips or tricks about needing to cut through the floor under the rear seat and attach the cage to the chassis...if you can even call what's underneath a chassis, lol. What I'm asking is does the cage tie into, or weld onto the top/side of the torque boxes? I know this is going to end up costing way more than I originally thought. Decisions...decisions.
