My guess it is a TT cage, Twisted Toys. He made them out of delrin rods bent with a heat torch. I think there are quite a few other guys who make them also.

I could not find the video. I found this and thought I could make this cage fit my truck. What do you guys think it's about 21" long and i am pretty crafty. any idea of what it is? it is 4 wheel drive and has chains. Should I butcher it or is it worth making into something?

Ok I made my own, it's kind of cheesy but it's a prototype. I did not win the auction for the buggie in the picture above.

Hmmm. Well its not the nicest looking roll cage by far, i think it would be more solid if they had a little distance from each other and were lower. What if you mounted it at the base of the shock tower instead?

BTW your big joes are on backwards.

Thanks for the heads up on the wheels! I am going to get new rods and try to make the new ones more form fitting.
