Wolfie:
It's been discussed on here many times, a search would be good.

But have a read of the first post of http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=52984&highlight=rollcage

boss:
you must use CDS(cold drawn steel) this way there are no seams to split i am making my own cage but i am ordering a front disco hoop and rear defender truck hoop from protection and performance, i know somone with a hydrolic pipe bender so im going to make up all the bits in between myself. you just have to make sure your a goood welder because too much heat in the tube will temper it too much and/or warp it and too little heat its a rubbish weld and it wont hold. there are also rules and guide lines to follow, im not sure waht book it is(alrc handbook?) but my old chap has it at home, it tells you all the regulations. hope thats helped.

crazymac:
Its the M.S.A. Blue book i think

extreme90:
it doesnt have to be to a standard unless you intend on competing in winch challenges
do trials
hill rallys
comp safari's ect ect

altho, its good practice to make it good and strong and to spec

after all, a poorly designed and mounted cage will inflict more harm, then do good
do it once, do it right
