This is the cage I got from Ron E. I love it! I got it mounted today and then ran a tank through it before it got dark. It is very stiff. The stock chassis before had flex in it so much if I put my hand on the skid and pushed down I could see it move. Rons cage took the flex out. The hard part was figuring out how to run a body. I removed 2 screws from the diff case that go through the shock tower and replaced them with the same size thread but 40mm length. It works perfect. I heated up the posts and slightly bent them towards the original hole locations of the body. Worked perfect. Original body, original mounts, original holes! I also drilled a second set of holes through the front plate to tighten it to better match the angle of the shock tower. I love it! Thanks Ron!
 
Oh and I forgot the cage is tall so if you land upside down on the body the cage will take some of the impact like a cage should. The space between the body and cage is around 1 inch. Also with the cage being taller than the stock one I can put my hand in the cutout I made for slamming the body and use the cage as a handle. I love it, so why don't I marry it?!
 
glad you like it. it's a nice, light, strong cage... just made another one if anyones interested... next one will be for my pro4 truck with the sprint modded rear dom and asgard body... that'll be tough. :D
