Anyone know who makes some that are well built. Bolt in or weld in (it's getting welded regardless). Thanks.

It is a good cage without modification, but there's only so much trust that I put into just a good cage.

Not to brag, but I do wheel harder than most and I need a little triangulation to have the confidence in the cage to wheel harder.

In basic form it definitely strengthens the unibody, but I have about 20 more feet of tube to put into it to make myself totally happy.
 
I just finsihed installing a D&C cage, for the money I am pretty happy, although I got the 2 door version which is pretty new and had to modify a bit. I also changed how the front and rear mounts.

I need to add some x-bars in the middle hoop but other than that it is pretty good. I had no shipping problems and actually got it about a week before promised.

Yup, just the floor, however I do plan soon to add tabs to the cage that bolt to the factory upper seat belt mount.

I can post any pics but I could email you some if you tell me what you want to see.
I had to trim the back runners as they were too long. Other than that al I changed was mounting. In the front I bolted sandwiching the sheetmetal through 2 feet plate. I am going too tie this to the frame at some point.
The middle I just welded to the floor.
The rear I got a 4" wide piece of flat steel and cut it to the shape of the rear floor. Welded that to the floor and the cage to it.
D&C seatbelt bar does not work on a 2 door because the b pillar is farther back. I thought they were going to redesign this for a 2 door and send me a new seat belt bar but never heard about it.
This is why I still need to put a cross bar back there and something to mount a harnes to.
