I'm probably going to regret asking, but how much are we all looking at for a cab cage or a cab and bed cage? And knowing myself, it's probably going to be a lot more because I'd want the cage to be really nice, like a piece of art, rather than crappy looking cage with crappy welds. Plus I have a screw so there's some more money that I don't have.

I have been quoted 15-20k for a full cage.

How does a cage change on road safety. I would think cars and trucks would be caged if they were safer on road? I see the need off road where a single vehicle accident would be most common. Are any cages crash tested for common road accidents? Thanks for helping with my ignorance.

Cage for a daily driver? would be a no no.

The reason is because you wouldn't be wearing a helmet, and having your head impact the rollcage could be deadly.

Plus, if you were not wearing the harness, your body will flop all over the place increasing risk of hitting the cage.

Personally, I would never install a cage in a daily driver..

Wow! That's some big boy money.

Something else you should consider is weight in the rear end. All the weight is in the front of these because they are pickup trucks, and arguably $50,000 lawn darts. There are suspensions set-up and calibrated for an empty bed, but for optimal performance not only should you upgrade your springs, shocks and bumps, but you also should have some weight in the back to balance out the truck a little.

Also, WSI has a bolt in cage for $5100. You can remove the whole thing in about 30 minutes. (Please, just stop before you start BigScott.)

Matt is correct... Raptors are driver side front weight biased adding weight in bed helps a ton!
