My home made Savage roll cage

[DamoSavage]

Hey, i finally finished making my roll cage for my Savage X and i think it turned out pretty good. It cost me nothing to make! My family friend had some of this nylon tube and all the other stuff i needed i already had at home. I didn’t have to use a heat gun and i didn’t have to weld the brackets.

It’s too hard to explain how i attached it to the tvp so i just took a picture as an example:

The side that you can see the screw head is the side that would go onto the tvp. I used those things (the green thing) that when you screw a screw into them they spread out.

(I used one of these tools to make the angled hole where the screw head fits into so it doesn’t stick out)

Here are the pics of the cage:

I had to use zip ties to hold the cage back so it will stay over the engine ^

I have not tested it yet, once i do i will let you know how it holds up.

If you have any questions just ask.

I did a little mod to my roll cage. I attached the roll cage to the roll bar, instead of having a bar of nylon above the radio box.

The advantages of this mod are:
Looks better
Better access to the radio box and fuel tank
Higher clearance above engine + doesnt bent as much on impact = Better protection

again, your cage is kill-ah. now time for a tuned pipe, in my sleep i can hear your savage screaming for one

 

[DamoSavage]

what is the plastic? Funny pipe or sold round bar stock ?

I don't use a cage in my trucks but looks cool!

I just wanted to say that my cage is holding up really well. It has been though a lot of bashing and it perfectly fine.

Here is a video of some bashing i did today at a motocross track:

Nice! looks like it kind of helps roll the truck back over on some of the bad landings. Looks good though!
