Found these on Flickr, from someone named Nick Anderson: His story is that of the less than a slow roll... obviously. Look how much of the factory structure got compromised: [EDIT:] This accident is also a good opportunity to see the front row cab structure at its weakest - note that where...

Again, it's a rough sketch. Keep in mind that everything that isn't triangle shaped (the strongest shape in geometry) can deform in an event. Note that without any triangular reinforcement in the windshield area, the top edge of the windshield could be pushed inwards. This would impart a lot...

Yes, I do think it's practical/possible to build a cage that works for a daily driver. My above post was more to indicate it was going to cost more than 4-sticks of tube :) Just a rough sketch, the orange bars go to the floor in the rear - this should be made removable. The green bars are...

For a K5 Blazer (M1009) I can see using more than 4 "sticks", especially if you want to retain the rear seat... One 12-16' stick would be your main "hoop" in the B-pillar, one 5-6' stick would be a diagonal in the hoop (not even meeting the minimum structural needs IMHO though) - two crossing...
