if you want to carry rear passengers then a show cage is for you. MPS also make proper cages, not just show.

its got abit of weight to it,
people told me its not possible to have the seats in the back with it but i have, very simple.
i haven had people on the back but wouldnt advise it if you get the one eith the diagonal like i have as if you were in a crash it would be dangerous

them get a show cage, 1 diagonal means it'll protect the driver in a crash, 2 diagonals will protect the front passender and driver. you won't get passengers in the back with a proper roll cage.

no it wont, to protect the driver it would have to go over the driver, the diagonal is there to strengthen it more

Sounds right in theory, diagonal from bottom left to top right from the rear should strengthen the corner on the drivers side. Addtional diagonal to passenger side will stregthen both sides.
I aint no engineer though

A cage with a single diagonal will protect both driver and passenger. You can get rear proper roll cages.
