cage design, seats and harnesses - looking for good ideas

Hi,

I've scheduled with our local fabrication shop guru, John - owner of www.HunterOffroad.com to build me a complete roll cage from scratch.

We won't start for another 5 weeks so he's given me a homework assignment to get ideas for what I'd like to have done.

It will be made to fit with my bestop supertop and it will have a cradle tied into the cage for the front seats. Aftermarket seats are part of this project so if you have good recomendations then please let me know. He gets 15% off of Corburu but I only felt comfortable in the ultra wide. I'm also considering mastercraft and anyothers you can think of.


The only thing I know for sure is that I want the cradle for the seats, a horizontal harness bar behind the seats and no tie ins to the windshield (cleaner looking and makes for quick windshield removal). And I won't be reusing any of the stock cage.

Post pics of your favorite cage designs or describe good ideas you may have seen or thought of.

I'm thinking of asking him to tie it into the frame using polyperformance stuff.

John is the best there is at tube bending and welding so I'm pretty excited. Not as cool as Jack's soon to be 10" but still cool. :D

fast back design? not sure how that would look but he mentioned it as an idea since I don't use the back seat anymore.

Thanks,

Ben

So di dwe ever get to see the finished product of this excellent fab shop, very curious as to how and what you do to stretch the drive 10".

That cage was a work of art, and you are spot on wearing the brain bucket. Not worth building a cage hust to bang your head on it.
