Wonder if any companies do a group shipping discount?

Am I the only one that doesn't think the front of the cage would hold up in a rollover?

I don't think that is what they intend. It does stabilize the windshield frame, and provide a nice spot for a grab handle though.

To the original poster,
I think a big part of the shipping cost is that it is already assembled and takes up so much room. If the local guys are too much for fabbing one maybe you buy one that only needs assembly once you get it. Not sure how much you'd save in the long run though.

It will but the support is behind you instead of in front of you. Draw a line from the front of the hood to the top of the cage at the B pillar. That's your protection. Not quite as good at saving your windshield, but your head will be fine.

The Krawlers Edge looks like a "feel good" cage...I will take the front bars for added safety.

retired cop of 30 yrs. I've seen way to many smashed front roofs and windshields from roll overs and mangled heads. All bets are off when shit goes wrong.... It's better than nothing but I wouldn't bet my life on it in a bronco.

That’s my thought. Probably not as good as a full 6point cage, but I’m not rock crawling, I do light off roading and 99% street. I’m looking for this to keep my daughter safe in the back and me a little safer than the roll bar it has.

6 point blocks too many things for road use I feel

I was extremely interested in purchasing the krawlers edge roll cage. As it seems to be the perfect cage for me. Unfortunately shipping from Tennessee to CA is $900. That is $100 more than the cage. So what my question is, does
anyone happen to be driving to from Tennessee to Ca and have some room for a cage. I’ll obviously pay, I just can not justify, or afford $900. I have shipped cars from NY to Ca for that price.

Or if not, does anyone know of a cage similar to the Krawlers Edge?

You might want to check with Virga custom He builds some nice ones and he is in Sac.

This is the reason I think a cage should have front bars- support.

As opposed to this. Still, that red one is a Stroppe with the Stroppe style roll bar, but the bar collapsed on the Driver's side.
