hey everyone,
I am going to build a cage comeing up in a little bit but right now I am basically in the plan making stage. what I want to do is come up with a family style cage for my 1970 eb. I want the cage to be able to protect two people in the back so I can mount seats back there eventually. and also I think that I want to do a little bit of an exterior cage up front to protect the body panels. does anyone have any cool designs or ideas that will help me in designing this thing.

thanks a lot
Lure:D

Ezy man , do a search on pbb . You should find a ton of cage ideas . Also there are do it yourself cage kits designed just for this application . Check w/ Duff or Wildhorse, Tom's . good luck .:flipoff2:

There is a big photo album of EB's on Classicbroncos.com that might serve well for references also.

I like the cage design found on Protofab's cages, and on Mike K's cages found at www.completeoffroad.com

here's mine. if you take the back bars and extend them straight back and down with a 90 degree bend instead of just diagonally down it sounds like this is what you're thinking. Did that make sense?
