Default Roll cage bracing
Has anyone ever added their own bracing to the cage? I'm thinking about doing some on mine and painting my cage blue and removing the padding and replacing it with some universal padding in the areas around my head. Pics would be great too haha.

I am just starting mine and have a ton to do yet, but I believe ringer has done this. Most aftermarket kits build off the stock cage also..

I did a full custom cage. I wasn't impressed with much of the factory cage and felt better with new.
