If you call Connor at Outlaw he can work with you on pricing..Welcome to Outlaw Raptor
There are a lot of options and different ways of doing things...
Also if you bring the truck to them with no interior it helps differ the cost..
9-10-12,000 +..Depending...Thats with a SCORE certification....

Kick ass.
Score certification?
I thought it was checked every race?
Is it not like contingency with SNORE?

They still drill a hole for thickness check and tag the chassis?

Cage looks great!

Having a SCORE tagged ( yes, there is a tag on the A Pillar drivers side ) means that it was built to the SCORE rulebook and inspected and approved by them. Connor and Melvin ( his top fab guru ) took the truck down to the Score tech center and had it inspected. Good question about the test hole for wall thickness, I don't know, would have to ask Connor but I would think that in this day and age they would just use a sonic test meter to gauge the wall.
Any event will have a tech inspection, having it tagged just makes that one portion of process smoother.

I see they pulled the windshield to install the cage. Does the original go back in?

Also, about how much weight does it add? And Did you do anything to the suspension to compensate for the added weight?

The truck looks great, and I really like the use of the different aftermarket parts.

Thanks,

The factory windshield is put back in and is legal to run with in our class..
I put the truck up on the scale after the snowball and it came in at 7040 Lbs. This was with 3/4 of gas in the tank and a bunch of gear..
I will be posting up the great suspention mod's that Outlaw and Icon are helping us out with...
Thanks for the comp's Joe

Nope...
No need for holes it's done with a Ultrasonic tester.
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges Wall Thickness

"Ultrasonic Testing", Wiz, that's a big word for those of us that are not engineers. Don't Worry, I did the Google search for all.
