Roll cage design is a funny thing. I went in there with a bunch of things that I thought I wanted, but after looking at a few things, we agreed this is a good balance of cost vs safety.
I also didn't want to have one of those cages where tubes go everywhere, like spaghetti...the old girl is heavy enough without them!!
