There are several company's the make pre bent cages for LUV's. I know hotrod80 had a pre bent cage in his blue luv, and it looked like it fit pretty good. I think the DOM cages for for nearly twice the price of EWS cages.

My Blue truck had S&W mild steel 8 point . My current truck is 12 point Chromemoly that was custom built . The S&W fit pretty nice and was somewhat adjustable . My Yellow truck the 12 point is almost invisible . Chassis shops can be hit and miss . Not everybody does work like wicked .

one of these days i will have the power to need one but that will be a while :p
the only thing that bugs me about a lot of cages is having them exit thru the rear window instead of the top of the cab above the window. i know i saw one that came out above on someones luv that looked good.
no kidding tho wicked has some great looking tube work on his luv; if he was closer i would see about having a 3 link and new front end done :lol:

Mine is above the window and through the cab. Not good for a daily driver though unless you get a canvas boot that will zip around it you can attach to the cab to keep the water out...

especially being here in the rainy state of washington... would need to get it sealed up really well or it would be rusting the cab within a month...
what about running the rear support bars lower down right under the window with a slight up curve once inside to be a bit less conspicuous? wouldnt be quite as strong but im not hitting the drag strip often :lol:

Bickel race cars makes some very cool billet boots that slide on the pipe before welding them and have a ring with 4 screws on the body part . Super nice
