Cheaper no, But you do live right next door to Art Morrison chassis shop there by Tacoma give them a call and save shipping.They have cage kits for the Luv.

And as for cheaper remember this is your life your trying to be cheap about,also it will need to pass inspection if you are going racing.

How do ya fit 12 points in a small cab like that anyway. There wouldnt be any floor left, it would be just all bars poking up.

Actually the kit cages are the best deal you can get as just buying the tubing gets pricey then you have to get it bent, cut ,notched,and fitted,then welded.

Nobody around here wants to custom fab one from scratch and the price would be crazy for labor :roll: . Jegs , Art morrison , S&W race cars , and others all offer a Luv kit . Then just have it tig welded in.

Like i said he lives right there in Art Morrisons back yard so a kit from there would be the cheapist as there would be no freight just a couple gallons of gas to get there and back.
