roll cage safe for daily driving?

i dont plan on rolling over lol

That's key right there, IMO - if you're wheeling hard enough to expect a rollover, invest in a real cage. If you don't wheel that hard and just want a little insurance, what you bought will be fine. I think it could probably use some gussets and at least an x-brace across the top though, if you know a welder.

Yeah I just wanted a little insurance without breaking the bank... I installed it last night. im not hardcore into wheeling...

I agree with Hyde on the safety/noggin-bashing help--just get some foam wraps for the bars, anywhere you might come in contact with them. With the combination of your truck's pillars taking the first blow and the cage to back them up, you should be quite safe with that. Do you plan to tie it into the frame in any way, so it can't punch through the floorboards?

If I roll and the cage goes through the floorboard, well ill pretty much just be done lol.. Im not gonna worry about it..

I have a 4xInnovations cage in my 4runner. I daily drive it, drive it to the trail, and drive it home. Yes it hurts when you hit your head, but put i've put padding on and wear a helmet most the time now. It was a little cramped at first, but you get used to it.

looks good!! im not going to worry about it, im going to put padding where it needs to be and hopefully it never needs to come in use....
