Anyone seen or used a Jegster cage?
Doing some mods this winter and a 10 piont cage is on the list. Im going to buy a kit and install it myself. I was looking at jegs roll cages. Anyone seen these or used these? Any suggestions?

This is purely a guess, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were reboxed Competition Engineering rollcages. Give them a call and ask; the worst that can happen is they'll say they can't tell you.
I'm also planning on installing a roll cage (hence my chassis prep post) this winter. Seems like I've only heard positive feedback on the S & W cages, so that's what I plan on using. Are you going chrome moly or mild steel?

There was a post on here not too long ago where a guy posted a link to pics of his Jegster 8 Point installed, but I can't seem to find it.
I found it, check this thread: http://web.camaross.com/forums/showt...mp+engineering

IM going to go mild steel beings how I can weld it with a mig. Also I havent welded much chromoly so I hate to make a mess out of it. I talked to a local guy that does cages, supensions,ect and he wanted 1900 for a chromoly and 1450 for a mild steel. He done the math and he said that the mild steel would weigh about 190lbs and the chromoly would be around 135 lbs. HE also said that in a 10 piont for a 4th gen Fbody car there would be around 100 feet in the cage.
