money well spent. lucky me I can walk into ruffstuff and walk out with 100ft for about $725. not sure if you've ever flopped your jeep, but even my non violent rollover cost me more than $500 in time and parts to replace. exo cages really should be DOM if you want them to withstand more than a year of rock abuse
and building a cage that isn't designed around safety is just plain stupid. HREW makes sense if its full internal and made to save your life the one time you need it. but if you want to save the body from dents, why use HREW that's going to dent anyway?

Ruff stuff's for DOM isnt as bad as i thought... it would cost like $500 to have all my DOM shipped to me to use for a cage in 1.75 .120... not as bad as i thought...

exactly. for an exo, dom only. hrew just won't stand the abuse. for internal, hrew will work fine as it's only there incase of a rollover. regardless, sch 40 is not for internal or external. I'd make a luggage rack outta it though.
not bad at all. exo or internal?

no need to be sorry. It was just a general question. I need to check on prices around here. Next year I'll start my cage. around April hopefully.

I picked up 100' 1.5 .120 and 100' 1.75 .120 for 500.00 from my local metal house. 500.00 min order though.

you don't need dom. only in certain sanctioned events, they require certain roll bars/cages to be made from dom. and you can't paint them. but you are still allowed to build and run certain style cages with hrew.
dom is just hrew that's "drawn over mandrel" as to flatten out the seam so the tube is the same thickness all the way around, it's not seamless as some may think.
so for us that are not running sanctioned events, hrew is plenty strong enough. and it's almost half the cost.
