saracsm, numb nuts....you really that fuckin dense?

lemme explain: the cage is a horribly executed design so I comment
'well at least it's tig welded' AS IF that would help make up for the stupid design...

Sarcasm, understand?..Fuck me you CAN'T be so thick.

You bad mouth tig welded cages all the time. No one can tell with you. Besides, your precious internet cannot convey tone of voice.

I think he used so much tape because the trim pieces are load bearing. And everyone knows that a scratch is a stress riser.

Again, Timmy, your immaturity and general undeveloped sense of anything precludes you from understanding the simplest of things.
I don't "bad mouth" TiGed cages, I say they are a stupid waste of time.
Only somebody stupid would waste the time, UNDERSTAND?

Particularly a beginner wasting time on TiG welding a cage would be even stupider since a beginner is highly likely to wad his fist car up.

There is nothing special or unique about TiG welding steel, it simply wastes time...

Now time is an important commodity to people who have top pay the mortgage or rent and feed a family so those people don't want to waste time on some process that is painfully slow and simultaneously offers no advantages---only disadvantages, so mosty humans MiG weld the cage...
See?
The TiG welding isn't the thing that is stupid, it is solely the person, especially rank absolute beginners, who think that wasting time for ZERO strength, or performance or competitive advantage which is stupid.....

I mean really, what sort of dumbshit beginner would be so confused as to conclude it is a good idea to TiG a cage---even if the had the equipment laying around?

That should be perfectly clear....should however is a word fraught with potential problem....

Oh, I'm sorry, how obvious it is the difference between "bad mouthing" and calling something "a stupid waste of time."

Can you even TIG weld? Do you know how long it actually takes to TIG weld a Mild steel roll cage?

Timmy!! go to your room! John was being funny and it was a great comment!

Fortunately most of those Evos will dump a diff at the start line and never ned the cage.

We gotta get some hats with that sticker on them..flat bills of course.
