Where are you guys buying foam to cover roll cage bars? I see some people use house pipe wrap, but that looks ethnic. Any ideas?

I can get you 2 1/8" pipe wrap. I have been using it for years. Birds will pick at it, but it still does its job. Klogger is a little ethnic. I can bring you a couple 6' pieces to Clayton if you want.

If you have room, I wouldn't mind a stick or two myself John. I will definitely trade for crown/beer.![]()
I have seen pipe insulation with black PVC wrap on it. One of my customers uses it to insulate tubing. The wrap is wider than the insulation and self adhesive, so it overlaps the gap and closes/hides the seam. I just checked grainger and mcmaster and did not find it. Looks like something 3M would make.
I guess you are more concerned about it not hurting when you bump your head rather than not crushing your skull in a rollover?
Better than nothing at all.

Pipe insulation is equivalent to nothing at all.
I plan to maybe flop my rig at most, going 3mph like most people on here. I plan to bump my head getting in and out of the truck, that is where I need a little protection. I don't think having pipe insulation or closed cell foam or whatever is going to make a difference whether I live or die from cranial woundage.
Good to have you back John, now we can argue on the internet again!

Thunderbird will do just fine.
If I am belted in, I hope to not be hitting my head on the cage anyway. I'm sure it could happen, but this stuff is free, and when I hit my head on it getting in or crawling to the backseat, it doesn't hurt.
