Danny, I cringe when I look at that thing. The idea is to make straight sided triangles, the only stable geometric shape. The extra fitting bends make the sections into at least quadrilaterals, and polygons with over 3 sides are inherently unstable. I WOULD NOT depend on that cage to be any stronger than the truck roof structure. It is pretty, but it scares me...


This coming from the guy that asked "why bigger than 31's".

I know bent tubes are not ideal but its a trade-off between comfort/driveability and strength. This is a weekend trail rig, not a comp rig and the goal was to tuck the tubes close to the body to save cabin space. To suggest that this cage is not any stronger than the original roof structure because of some 15* bends sounds a little silly to me.
