Anyone have pics or idae for exoskeleton?

I am looking for a exoskeleton type design for my rzr ... i want to be able to lay it on its sides front or rear and not damage anything... ive been looking at tons of cages i like all the cages that are incorporated with the rear bumper (not tied to the box)... but what about the sides?!!! and also worried about the front bumpers being structurally sound...any ideas ? pics? no of any cages like this? Watched my buddy flip his over backwards tonight and rolled twice, crushed the stock cage and ruined a bunch of stuff on the side THIS IS WHAT I DO NOT WANT TO HAPPEN... it was at slow speed TOO!! ANY IDEAS OR HELP??

build all you want your still gonna do damage the frame on these is weak as well and youll have to tie you exo to the frame so your gonna bend your frame thats $1100 and 2 solid days to swap or a week of evenings been there done that as you can see in my avitar long story short its cheaper and easier to replace your plastic

Crashing is going to hurt!! An exo cage is not worth the added pounds. He's right new plastics are a better way to go.

Re: Anyone have pics or idae for exoskeleton?

Here are some pictures of the cage an exoskeleton I built for my machine. I used 1 3/4 x .095 tubing on the cage and 1 1/2 tubing on the side protectors. I actually turned it over backwards the day after these pictures were taken on a hill climb and the only damage was to the small tubing on the front bumper and some scratches. In my opinion it is well worth the extra weight because I didn't trust the stock cage to protect me on a bad roll. Also I appologize if the pictures don't come through ok as this is the first time I have posted with a picture. If you want I can send more pics.
