I'm thinking about pulling the cage from my TJ and building a whole new one tied into the frame, fenders, and front end. Think I can sell what I have now? It's a custom Hansen cage and has never taken a hard hit. What could I get for it.....?

I'd buy it but I don't think it'll fit in my XJ. :flipoff2:
Seriously though, couldn't you just modify your cage to tie it into the frame rails and front end?

I would say that it may be worth $400 to someone with a stock cage looking for a full cage. The consideration is having a new cage built (added to the original) for $600 to $1000 or buying your used one.

For someone with the stock cage who has rolled, it may be worth more depending upon what a replacement stock cage would cost at the junk yards.

Don - Nice to see you alive! Your thinking is right along with my own. Just have to find the right buyer.

Jes - The mods I have planned are too complicated to graft in a new piece. I'd like to just sell what I have and rebuild it all as I want it.

Ya, that's what I figured. Probably easier to start from scratch and design and build the whole thing the way you want. That is a nice cage though.
You still going to Australia?

Visa problems?
I guess you'll just have to go wheeling every weekend and drink beer instead!

Hey Paul,

I just sent this thread to Tom. He is interested in a cage. it would just come down to his financial advisor.

Thanks, Dan! :beer::beer: It's definitely for sale now, and there's a few interested parties but no commitments yet.

Don - maybe! :flipoff2:

I just got off the phone with Tom, He can't swing the cash until the end of the month.
If you could wait tell then. he is a for sure. but if you are wanting the cash. then by all means sell it.

Thanks, Dan. I'm meeting with someone on Sunday, and there's another in the wings that saw Dan-H's posting "over there". I won't be pulling it for probably 6 weeks anyway, so......

Have him send me a note and I'll put him on the list.

Paul (wanting to make it a bidding war, but just can't...)
