So my 16 year old daughter rolled my rhino and bent up the cage pretty good. I'm going to try a straighten it but I'm not sure how it'll go. If it doesn't go as planned, where would be a good place to start looking for a new one. Right now I've got a full race cage that's certified and did its job but I don't what kind it is as it came with the rhino when I bought it.

Glad she's all right. Post some pics up of the cage so we can see how bad the damage is.

Thanks guys. Yes, her and her friend are very lucky. It could have been way worse without the helmets, harneses and cage. I'll have to add pics after work. Security issues with hosting images. blah blah blah. Just took it to an auto body shop at lunch to see if they can straighten it but due to the lack of hold downs on the rhino it can't be done. I've got a price on some DOM tubing coming. Maybe I'll just have to build a new one using the exsisting cage for specs. I've found a place in Edmonton that builds and sells ROPS certified cages for Rhinos. $1600. We'll see what the DOM comes in at.

Hate that you couldn't get it straitened but glad it worked like it was supposed to.

Sory boys. Way too big but can't seem to get photobucket or hosting site to work. When I click on the icon above the "choose file" button isn't highlighted for me.

When you press on the host an image button there is a re size an image. You can try to make the pic smaller. Or you can send them to me at rhinoduramax@gmail.com if you want.

Thanks McKay. The top bar used to be dead flat and you can see the cage is bent to the side on the drivers side.

It's hard to see in the pics. The 2nd from last shows how it's bent to the left....from front to back, not top to bottom. It's more cosmetic than anything but I'm anal about shit looking good. Especially when I didn't do it. Anyway we're heading out again this weekend. We'll see if there is anything else messed up.

look at the pics over the bed. you can see the rear section is pushed to the driver side a few inches. look how the cage lines up over the bed rails.

yea, I seen how it kinda moved over a bit but man, its just bearly moved over.... I understand how you are. Im the same way about my stuff..... you need to look and see if you can just replace a few pieces and weld in them..... I mean that is if you welded it all up from the beginning.... If you did, you should know exactly how to get it right and what you will be satisfied with and go forward.. And yes, it is a bad azz looking rhino
