Jegs Ranger Cage in Explorer

CodePoet · 11-17-2009, 10:03 AM

Hey been searching for awhile and haven't found much. Was wondering if a jegs ranger cage would work in a first gen explorer. I know it would need a a decent amount of modification but I can get it pretty cheap. From the pictures it looks like I could just extend it back and add some gusseting for strength. It would of course need to be tied into my frame.

I have read about this over the years, you may find some info at the rangerstation about the jegs cage

it is a GREAT starting point, but needs mods to work, its cheap enough that plenty of Ranger owners have used it as a starting point and agree its a great route to take

Explorer will be similar, good place to start, its not going to be a custom fit, tucked up to the body style cage, but it will protect the driver in a roll over

I figured it would be a good starting point. I think i'll pick it up. It looks simple enough to allow for some pretty decent modifications too
