Some has to do some measure on the head heights
i think there is enough ceiling height on the truck if we are tight to the roof
who's going out to measure ?

 

i just measured for the bar outside and i dont think you could get within the 6" head to bar rule, looks like there is room inside for the bar though. then you have to go thru the window with the bar, can that glass be cut or would it have to be plastic?

 

I'd go with plastic it's lighter and you can cut the hole smaller for a better seal without fear of glass breakage.

When you build the roll bar fabracate a mount for your video recorder so you can operate it remotely while you race.

that lightning cage is bad ***, you wouldn't have to have the side bars come up that high though i don't think. seems like the few other trucks i've seen with a cage they weren't that high up and you could get in and out without moving the bars.

 

the cage in that lightning isn't NHRA or IHRA legal, due to the side bars being swing out style. they will probably pass at a test n' tune type thing, but at any kind of real event with tech they wont. any kind of side bar has to be solid, with no breaks between 1 bar to the other or between welds, so no bolt ins and no pins/hinges. i'm going on Jan. 14th to a local shop that's wanting to get into cages and suspension stuff to measure up the truck to get ready for a cage.

 

i am going to have to look into this, i have seen this style of roll bar an many vehicles runing 10's and 11's. if i can't have a removeable side bar and be legal then i definately dont want a roll bar.

i have to order me a nhra ruls book
