I like the design of the alum cage EXCEPT the alum! Wants to know if anyone is selling a steel tube cage.

I've added the alm cage and no problems yet.
Give it a couple roll overs and it will break near the plate by spark plug. I have had them tig welded and it is so poor alum its hard to weld.

I made one also... They are time consuming to build, a reason you really don't see anyone making them. They could end up costing more than the vehicle.

Here is the one I did awhile back. It is chromoly bent it a couple of times, but it's never broke. All light wiring is ran through the tubing. ;)

What kind of bumper is that RCDAD?i like the lights mounted in it.
The top section holding the lights is part of an alloy Baja bumper. The bottom section is a rear Baja bumper. I made the brace that ties it into the shock tower.
