Now that you pigs are calmed down...lets get to the tech part of this.

I had build the 5sc to spec. Knowing that I was going to add the Team Chase Cage, I decided to do it now.

First thing you need to do is remove the OEM cage. This is basically the two vertical bars and the roof support.





Once that is removed...it is time to give your cage a bath. Team Chase suggests that you soak it in Hot Water (Bathtub works best) for 15 mins to soften the plastic. This will give you a custom fit when it cools. While soaking, I removed the front and side body mounts.

So I did that, now mind you, I dry fitted it and it was like wrestling a bear.



I then removed it from the bath and could feel that it was pliable. I quickly hit it with a towel to get the excess water and than placed it on the chassis. Wow, what a difference.

I would suggest that you place it on and then secure the front Body Mounts and push the all the way down so that they are holding the cage in place.

Next start adding the side mounts. These will need to be placed in the cage first and then thread them through the OEM mount. This makes it easier than trying to get through both at the same time.

After than, just let it cool and you have your own custom fit Team Chase Roll Cage that will help protect your valuable body on your 5T/5SC or for a different look, add some panels to the cage and run it as a tubed rig.
