Scout II Cage Kits

(Fits all 1971-1980 IHC Scout II's)

 

Have you ever noticed that one of the biggest complaints about Scouts is that there is very little aftermarket products for them? If you have you aren't very familiar with D and C Extreme. From our tiny beginnings in February 1999, we've designed and built some of the most innovative products available for IHC Scout and Scout IIs. And its about time we announce another first.

D and C Extreme is proud to offer complete interior cage kits for all 1971-1980 Scout IIs. These kits are exact copies of our custom Scout II cages but are made to be shipped and assembled by the customer. What sets these works of art apart from other so-called kits?

Form and Function

Our cage kits are not just another "kit" made of some crappy thin tube and bent to "generic" (read 'intrusive') measurements with a so-so bender. We've taken our time and specifically designed these kits to provide you with as much space and comfort as possible. Each tube is quality Mild Steel bent to perfection with a true Hydraulic Mandrel bender (No dangerous 'crushed' bends). We even designed them in a Scout to insure a proper and snug fit every time! Will it fit in a Stock Scout II hard top? OF COURSE! We also take the time and pre-cut all the vital joints! Pre-cutting the joints with a quality holesaw makes installation and welding a snap!

All New From the Start

From the front section to the rear spreaders, our kits are brand new from the start. The problem we've experienced with older cage kits is that they are made to weld to the existing factory roll bar. Although the factory rollbar is a strong unit, it is considerably narrower than our main hoop. By making our main hoop wider than a factory bar, we've literally increased the amount of head room in the front section of the cage ~ and that means you're less likely to bang your head during turbulent rides. We also extend our rear spreaders to give the rear passengers additional (and much needed) protection.

Use Your STUFF!

We have also gone to great lengths to make sure that all needed/useful accessories are completely operational after the kits are installed. With D and C's cage kits properly installed, you will have comfortable use of your window cranks, headlight switch, glovebox, parking brake pedal, high-beam switch, and every other dash-mounted switch.

Materials make us stronger.

All cage kits are made from quality 2" x 1/8" (wall) Cold Rolled Electric Welded (CREW) tube. We buy the tube in full 20' lengths and cut each piece to precise measurements. We also offer 2" Drawn Over Mandrel (DOM) tube for the competition minded wheeler.

Options make our kits a better value.

Do you want your cage to offer you greater function? No problem. D and C Extreme's Cage Kits have many different valuable options that will extend the function of your cage kits. Options include:


CB Bars:

Offers mounting points for most CB radios, HAM radios, switches and more! Also improves structural stiffness of the cage.

D and C's Signature ("Atari") Bars:
Offers additional side-to-side and front-to-back reinforcement to the cage structure without compromising precious head room. Adds nicely shaped lines to the cage. Also can be used for mounting surfaces (similar to CB Bars)

Integrated Seat Bases:

Do you want to take your seats off your rusty floor and tie them to something a little more substantial? Our Integrated Seat Bases allow you to bolt your stock (or aftermarket) seats to the cage! Talk about strong ~ you'll never have to worry about falling through that rusty floor again!
Drawn Over Mandrel Tube:
Drawn Over Mandrel (DOM) tube is known for its superior strength. If you don't want anything but the VERY best in materials, we'd be happy to construct your cage out of some Certified DOM tube. This tube is so strong, its a standard for most road and off-road racing circuits (Note: its not usually required in most 4x4/RockCrawling Competitions).

Any other option you want ~ we can deliver!

Disclaimer:

Drivers of lifted or modified vehicles need to exercise extreme caution when operating said modified vehicle.
