I dont no the brand i bought it off of eBay i like it without the body as well because of the rock crawler look... i can't stop starin at it can't wait to get it outside..
 
just look on eBay by typing in t maxx cage there is not one on with the panels right now but the same cage is on it would be easy to make the panels mine are tin but i would suggest plastic i will probably replave mine with plastic when the tins bend...
 
ya stock body fits right on it.... also today i painted the wheels black looks mean love the new cage!!... i event rigged it up where it has pins in it for easy removal for cleaning.
 
Isnt one of the main points of a cage, to protect the engine? The head looks way out in the open..
Over all it looks cool though!

X2 Dont get me wrong, it is an awesome looking cage, but I would either make a roll bar thing for the back or run with the body on. You could run a clear body so you could still see the cage

I painted the wheels and bumpers black and i decided that it needed to come off easily for cleanup so i went to the hardware store and picked up some bigger pins to slide into it they work great... I'm in love with my truck... your right tho i need to but in a bar for the motor.... thanks for the comments guys....

I just bought the same roll cage and how did you make it so you can just take it off by just pins, I would really like to know.

sorry bought the last post by me something was wrong with my computer.
 
Dont use the hardware that they gave you for the cage... just take out your top screws where your bumper mounts are and push the bulkhead brace back, then you you slip your cage on and slide the pins in place where the screws that came with the cage go... i went to lowes and bought bigger stronger pins you can c them in the pic on this page at the top.. if you have any other questions just let me know i can get you another picture....
 
Just got done running it i fliped it at least 6 or 7 times and it held up great i will get a better picture of my mounts up tonight i have the cage off of it right now cleaning it!!!! Il have the pictures up tonight.... keep the questions coming...
