    yeah i bet once mine is caged i wont ride in many others that arent i bet.

    im even worried about my driving at times with no cage. got to remember what the dangler told me, 80% rule when im cage-less. its a good rule of thumb id say.

    When my friends caged their trucks they actually calmed down offroad lol

    i wont ride in any truck offroad that isnt caged...just not worth it in my eyes. Jason got me to take a few jumps off comp with him and i was very uncomfortable not being in control and cage-less. even though jason and brian are probably the only two drivers that i would trust without a cage i still would rather not do it at all. WITH AGE COMES A CAGE!! Hell i wont even ride in caged trucks that are more built then mine for the pure fact that i cant afford to get to that level right now and dont even want to know how it feels. To me my truck is a tt and thats all that matters lol.

    Im glad your living by that rule for now...and it is a a damn good rule. Its kept me alive for thousands of dirt miles

    That's kinda whats keeping me satisfied with my rear setup. Anything more back there and I would feel too froggy. I don't want to feel like I can go faster than I already do.
