Default Whats a good roll cage? Still have to be able to hold passengers....

I'm buying a terminator soon, and I was thinking about getting a roll cage for the car. I want to keep the rear seats, and hold passengers in the back. Where can I find a nice full cage that meets these requirements? Thanks If you have one I'd love to see pictures!

wolfecraft racing has a really nice kit and the rear bars go along the rear window to give people in the back seat more room

I would recomend the maximum motorsports aswell. Only thing i would do is, if you race, bolt it in yourself with some friends. Then take it to a welder and have them weld it in also. The bolts MIGHT be strong enough, but it just seems like too much of a risk when paying a skilled welder a few bucks could save your life racing...

Actually the bolted kits have plates on BOTH sides (in & out) ... so you really don't loose that much with a bolt in kit....also, if welded, you might damage the "thin" sheet metal on the car if welded to hot, resulting in less strength!

I have a S&W racecars cage in mine, not finished its a 10 point, but I have 6 points in so far. It needs to be a welded cage thought, bolt in cages wont pass tech for any kind of racing at all. Even at our local track if your car isn't fast enough to require a cage but you still have a cage in the car and its bolt in you won't make it pass tech inspection.
@ Stanger, why didnt you run the rear bars into the truck area and weld them over the frame rails adjacent to the wheel wells.
