Is there anywhere where they sell a kit and you have someone put it in?? I didnt know if any of the vendors sold cages or where everyone was getting them and how much they are... Also, where and how is the best place to get the window cut for the bars?? Glass companies??

 

i remember a while back somebody talking about how JLP was selling one for pretty cheep, just needs to be welded in and new rear glass

 

Thanks, I will call them tomorrow!!!

 

I got mine through JLP

Suavy

 

Do you remember what you paid Suavy???

 

No it was last year but it was under 300 if I remember.

 

Thanks....Now I have to find someone to cut the glass......Or whatever they use, Lexan right??

 

If you don't mind bringing the truck to NY, and you don't mind paying good money for a top notch job, we could do the total install for you. And since you have a HD, we should be able to keep the rear bars inside the cab and not need to go out the back window. Contact us if interested.

 

Thanks for the offer Sal, I just might take you up on that!! I'm sorry to say that he HD's days are over as a project truck, it is for sale!! Good news is, I now have a 2001 L with all the goodies the HD had. But I will be contacting you about one for the L...Thanks again!!

 

do you have any pics on the bar install and how it turned out?
I might be giving jlp a call. Thanks

do your self a favor and do chromemoly and contrary to popular belief swingout bars are not legal for nhra santioned races. they do tend to overlook it since most have only gone in the 11's. swing outs are for show. everyone is shooting for a nine second truck but i have yet to see anyone do the proper rollcage(atleast a 10 point for 9.99 and quicker) and all the other supporting SFI safety requirements.

from what i was told nhra is looking to change there rules to only allow chromemoly. that might be for say 9.99 or faster but if you do the 6 pt. right the 1st time then you could always add to it if needed instead of a completly new cage.

 

I went with chromoly for the additional couple hundred bucks. It will save some weight also.

 

So all the folks who are installing the cages with swing outs are illegal ? I HAVE to beleive that the designers and installers of these cages have checked the rules books.....

 

Swing out SIDE bars are permitted on full bodied cars, 7.50 and slower. Of course they have to be made to NMRA swingout specs as stated in section 4:10 in the rulebook.
