Honestly, they look heavy and don't add any protection as far as rolling over is concerned.I wouldn't put my kids under that. sorry,just my 2 cents

As far as the cages protection is concerned believe me we would not sell a dangerous product. The cage is extremely solid and we have had no problems. It is made from 1 3/4" x .125 wall tubing and laser cut and bent brackets. For those of you who are not into sheet metal or engineering metal becomes extremely strong when it is bent using proper tooling and equipment. All of the brackets were made with this in mind in house by Iron Rhino Design. We cut, bend, and weld all of our own products and have 100% confidence in there ability to provide protection. The cage may look heavy but it adds only 70#'s to the weight of your Rhino the way it is shown in the pics. It also is completely bolt together and ships FEDEX to anywhere much easier than other cages available. Also should you roll all the parts are separate so you can order new sides, cross bars, or any other part individually instead of having to deal with a bent cage or replace and entire cage.

the back sits on the bed, how strong could that be???
shouldn't it attatch to the frame?

you can't see it very well but the cage does attach to the machine in the back. Those brackets sitting on top of the bed bolt onto the bed in 3 locations per side from the inside of the Rhino. This is the same way many of the cage builders out there are mounting the rear of the cage the only difference is we use a steel bracket to catch the mounting holes instead of running tube to the holes. The lower mounting plates are 10 gauge steel which is just over 1/8" thick. All of the mounting brackets are duplicates of the brackets used on the factory cage. The tubing is 1 3/4" diameter .125" wall thickness which is double the thickness of the factory cage.

Here are the updated pictures that show the side bars, utility rack, and all mounting brackets.

Looks good Jake. Is it easy to unbolt the front cross members for under bed access? I have seen a cage that is easy to unbolt - 2 bolts at the stock cross member - but they don't look as solid as yours. I would be interested in other bolt on accessories/racks available, or is there just the one? Thanks for the discount offer.

It is easy enough that if you really need to work on something you can unbolt and dump the bed but it is not a quick release by any means. you kind of want it solid in case you roll. I saw a pic the other day of a Rhino wreck and the bed was dumped because of the impact. you don't want passengers getting ejected because the front of the cage is not hooked in securely to the back.

Also that is the only rack we have now but we are building spare tire holders, half racks, and possibly a lock box. If you have any ideas let me know it is super easy to make things mount to the back. They are just M10 metric nuts that anything can bolt to.

Here's a couple pics of the rhino we're working on.

I do like the idea that it can be unbolted for easier shipping. It cost $539.60 for me to ship a two seat lone star race cage from Arizona to Utah. That is rediculous that it cost 1/3rd the price of a part just to ship it one state away. If I lived in New York it might cost more to ship a roll cage than it does to buy one.
