I'm gettin a rhino very soon and lookin for ideas on cages. It would be a 2 seat cage and need to retain the dump bed.

Lets see em

Two-seat cage from Sniper Fabworks that does not retain dump function. I'm also running their front and rear bumpers. You will usually carry the rear down-tubes outside of the bed from the B-pillar to bumper to retain the dump function...I didn't think it would look good. Don was playing around with slotting the bed and/or working some pivots into the rear tubes to retain the dump function, check with him - he might have it worked out.

mmmmmmmmm that cage is sexy:smokin: Might have to use it and a couple others to build mine

I have figured out a way in my head of retaining the dump bed feature. Have a bracket mounted to the bed floor but have the cage end with a heim joint or something similar. The heim will allow the bed to rotate freely while still providing a good mount and strength.

With the limited/easy use you could get away with cheap heims so you would need 4 cage spuds (80$) then make your mounting brackets and get 2 heims (40$) plus tubing would run around 250 so 400 tops would build a sick cage and uber stout:D
