New Era Roll Bar
This thing is unbelieveably tough and light....its way stronger than those vg roll cages and all those other bulky full body cages.

RE: LST Roll Cage
I would also suggest going with the new era roll bar aswell.
I dont go easy at all on my truck and its held up perfectly.
all those other cages seem to really make working on the truck more difficult and take alot longer. if your anything like me you run your truck with the intention of breaking it so having to remove the roll cage to fix something kinda seems dumb
the new era roll bar is super tuff and allows for fixing of the truck without having to remove it.
but if you plan on using your truck like a paperweight than i guess anything shiny will work

RE: LST Roll Cage
the new era roll bar looks good but, i dont want to run my truck wiht a body on. the roll cages are nice when not using a body.

RE: LST Roll Cage
I own a vg racing roll cage and i absolutely love it. I have never had an issue, no dings, bends or cracks. I can easily stand on it. To remove just take out 4 body clips and shes out. It adds strength to the chassis and bodys last much longer. I love them.

RE: LST Roll Cage
i got a vg cage on my lst2 too! works great. you can get them on ebay for like 50 bucks if ya get lucky or get one for 30 if ur reeeel lucky like me. they are awesome. they have great strength!. im about 200lbs and my fat ass cant break it!.. i even cut a 4 inch piece of it off so i could take the spur gear cover off without taking the cage off. and it still wont bend. the cage looks great and looks quite realistic. i just drive without a body somtimes, to show off tthe chrome shine!. i have always trusted it, and it is a good cage to invest in and unlike the rc solutions cage, you can get ur hand in the truck iff ya need to work on it. only bad thing about it, i also have an rd logics pipe on lst2 and i had to reroute the rear mounting screws but its no big. great investment!

RE: LST Roll Cage
Problem with those new ear bar's is when you flip ALL the force is in the middle and with just the right hit upside down you will bend the chassis and crack the rail. VG full rollcage seems like the best option.

RE: LST Roll Cage
Here's my old pics..
I have since updated to metal body posts,
I feared I would break the shock towers by doing this, but now;
I haven't broken a metal body post, or a shock tower in over a month! (Since the switch)

funman1: That K&N filter or something that looks like it is very bad for your engine as it barely blocks the tiny particles from entering the carb. I suggest you replace it immediately with the stock 2 stage foam filter or else you will see a significant loss of power and life in your engine
