roll cage importance!!!!
I have learned that a roll cage should be mandatory equipment if your going off road. While this truck was built to handle most situations, roll over was not one of them. We were lucky tho as it was not needed. I am now no longer going to build a truck unless I have the money to do a cage at the same time.

actually i have built 2 rangers, one mine, the other is that one (both have been rolled now, I think it has to do with how the I beams react under hard cornering). Im only a chevy fan when it comes to the older muscle. But yes, TOYOTA TRUCKS!!!!

They say that the Bronco II's roll over allot. I have done some pretty scary stuff with mine and have yet to roll it. Guess it all depends on whether you can drive or not.

Jeeps have a reputation of being rollover happy, I seen a sticker in a book for Jeep stuff today that said "If you can read this, roll me back over" it was meant to be placed on the windshield upside down. I like it.
