Does anyone know if you need a cert for an exo cage?
Also what grade of tube/pipe is best? that is for us that can't afford moly.
Did a search but seems to be very differing opinions and info.
I'm confused :oops:

want to save the body work and keep the two kids safe,
Thanks

from my understanding, if less than 100mm from any part of the vehicle on the outside you can cage it up as long as it isnt sharp on corners

And it is not welded to any part of the structure. ie, you can unbolt it off the truck completely (or so I have been told :wink:

)
