I said “fortunate to have…” because even the school instructors had mentioned IR was not producing any more at this moment due to steel supply issues. I reached out to IR and they actually had four on hand. I and my co-driver grabbed the two cages in raw steel, and they had (as of a few weeks ago) had two already powder coated in the bumper gray. If that works for you, I’d say get it while you can! At worst, you can have it repowdercoated in your choice.
I didn’t weigh it but must be at least 100 lbs. Not just cosmetic: it significantly strengthens structural rigidity and allows suspension to work better. The tire carrier is a must have if you’re off-reading.
