A while back someone posted on the Jegster rollcage setup for a early Dodge truck...with shipping and handling it comes to about $380 bucks for the 10 point if I remember correctly...has anyone run one of these on there truck, or is there any pics? the Jegs website just has a generic blueprint of what you will get :shaking: I dont have the money to have one proff. built, nor do I have a bender, I know how to fab one, just dont have the tools, so I figured this might be a good way to go...thanks
b.t.w, this would be for a 76 Ply. Trailduster.

I have a Jegster cage in my s-10. Not a Mopar, but everything fit nicely. The only thing is everything had to be cut and notched by me. All bends were right on the money though. Everything is shipped with excess length for installer preferences. Here are a couple pics...

seanzy, would the roof halo have been long enough to reach the rear of the cab if your truck was ex.cab?
also, how much extra length was on the main hoop? enough to rearch thru the floor if a guy wanted to?

It's been awhile since I installed the kit. However, if memory serves me correctly, there was about 6-8" of excess on the main hoop, roof halo, a pillars, etc. The frame doesn't line up with where the a pillars meet the floor so an extra bend would be needed to go straight to the frame. Even then I dunno if there would be enough length. The floor mounts of the rear main hoop are right over the rear body mounts so something else would need to be done to tie it to the frame in the rear (this might not be an issue on extended cabs). Here are a couple of links with more discussion on the kit for the s10 and a few more pics of my install...

There was a guy in that first link that was putting one in an extended cab I believe, and I think the only issue was that it rendered his backseats useless. Check that site out though. There is alot of good info on there. I hope this all helps. Sorry for the hijack.
