Shortly after Tuff Truck, I plan on tearing out the existing 'cage' in my TJ to build a serious for the comps I'll be in this year.

We're just looking at what tube bender to buy at the moment, so I need to work out what size and type of steel to use.

Wooders mentioned to me that CAMS schedule J has the information I need, but I haven't really been able to find that on the net yet.

Does anyone have any pointers on what specs I should go about making the cage with? Ie. what type of steel is required, and the thickness.

So far the plan is to make it a 6 pointer, with main hoop behind the seats, front going down behind the dash, and the rear being a fast-back style from the main hoop to the rear of the tray/back floor area.

The mounting will be plates sandwiching the body. Does anyone have the minimum sizes that these plates can be?

Any information is appreciated.
