I cant see why this cage would not work.
www.jegs.com
They have cages built for the ranger. I figured since I need some protection in my 1992 these may work.

Looks like the 8 point Ranger cagew works perfect in a pre 89 BII. Not exatly the fit I am looking for but it works!
If it works in a BII it should work in the Explorer, you may just have to move a few tubes up and down....
I personally want my cage tucked in a little more, closer to the a pillars and no interference with the doors......
but for a trail rig this may be a great way to save $$$$ if you dont have a bender

I am looking more toward a custom exo cage, but for the price this could hold me for a bit on the trail rig while I finish up some of the fifty projects I have going.

I like Bill's EXO cage around the cab, but on an Explorer you would be looking at a full exo cage = yuck IMO.
Mine as well just remove the Ex body and replace with tube.

brian, i have a bender in the mail. the die is on backorder, so it may be a while. when im done with mine, we could have a "everyone go to Brian's house and build him a cage" day. get some 1 3/4 tube and i will bring the bender, welder, chopsaw, etc. it would be a helluva lot cheaper than buying one or having one made. if you want something other than 1 3/4, then buy me another die. :p
