    social pressure to install a cage....

    I do not have welding skills. I do have the resources to have it done professionally, however. I currently have an inquiry out to these folks locally: http://arizonajeeparmorrocksliders.com/

    social pressure to install a cage....

    Its a good idea to cage. One can initiate a rollover simply by dropping a front wheel in a deep hole.

    In your research, have you found any DOT compliant, replacement headlamps that have the LED turn signals integrated? That would be the cat's meow.
