usually, any safety cage that is effective is often hard to work with. ie: its hard to climb in and out. Plus, I think a supercrew is a tank of safety when its stock.

well you can do things to help out, like lowering the center of gravity, correctly loading the vechile and distributing the weight, putting a "headache rack" on the truck, making sure they are wearing their saftey belts, and are in a car booster seat if needed, using correct tire pressure, not falling asleep at the wheel, etc

in my off-road magazine, "peterson's 4wheel & off-road" in there Aug. 2006 issue, you can get a back order at ( http://www.primediabackissues.com/Me...gory_Code=4WOR) , or the magazine's website (http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/), they were building a new toyota FJ cruiser into an ultimate off-road trail vehicle. Anyways they had spyder customs in Colorado build a custom interior rollcage into the brand new vehicle. It turned out great, follows all of the contours of the vehicle and does not get in the way anywhere, it is all tightly TIG welded to prevent burns, and painted to the customer's preference. if you are serious about it you should contact them, it might be a little pricey, and you would have to transport it to CO probably, but it would definately make your truck much safer. The guys that had this done are serious expierenced off-roaders, that know safety and have rolled a few vehicles before and know how to protect themselves.

Hope this helps, if i had the money it would really cool to do to a project vehicle!
