they sure do, i built my own, we took a roll at trials, we ended up with a small dint in the gutter where the cab touched the cage, and a small dint where the snorkel head touched the body,

cab would have been gone if we didnt have the exo

no such thing as an exo cage, they are ladder racks. Depending how their done they are legal.

I rolled my troll into a fairly deep hole full of water and mud with hard banks. Exo coped every thing. The cage didn't touch the body at all. Wasn't a fast roll.

It went further over than that and then rocked back to where is it in the pic.
