6 point cage ordered from Trackspec

Just spoke to trackspec and decided on my cage options. Going with a mild steel, satin black, 6 point with both swing outs.

I'm STOKED!!

THANKS TRACKSPEC!! Can't wait to see the final product!

You should be going for the moly one, just to save weight.

Don't know exactly but it's not chromoly, it's a mild steel so it has some weight to it. I will get the answer to your question tho and let you know.

I considered it but wanted to save the money so went the other way.

Website says chromoly is 37-45lbs. Mild steel is 75-98 lbs.
Moly is about 800.00 more. I'm getting the passenger side swing out, if I wasn't doing that I would consider Moly.

Looks like 2 bars on the passenger side because they took the driver side swingout bar off during the work and put it over there out of the way.
Also this is a chromemoly set up.
