What are y'alls opinion on those bolt in cages like they sell on 4wd.com? I dont have the know how or know anyone that does to be able to get a real one anytime soon. Wondered if they where worth it or purely for looks.
There is a very lively debate about this kind of thing in the socal chapter right now. My opinion is that it is better than not having a cage but if you need something you can truly rely on in a really bad roll, you would be safer with a custom built and properly designed cage. These bolt in cages offer some protection but would not likely hold up to a serious multiple turn roll or a roll at speed. Bear in mind this is merely my opinion, I am not a structural engineer.
Lots of wrangler guys use those cages, they bolt onto the stock roll bar and create a full 6 point cage. Looks pretty beefy to me and I think I'd consider it if they didn't take up too much interior space. I just don't want the A-pillar bar to be hitting my knee all the time. which is why I'd rather have a hybrid exo.
When I get back to the states, gotta get the Jeep running good first, then I think I will seriously consider getting this. I dont need a cage to protect me in a 60/MPH rollover....I hope.
I'm resurrecting an old thread rather than starting a new one. This bolt in cage is listed by both 4wd.com and CSL Offroad in two models for the four door, one for "84 through "95, and one for "96 and newer. Since I have a "96 XJ, I have to wonder about this listing since the xj body change was with the "97 model, not the "96. I know, I know...I could call one of the vendors that sells this product but whenever I call vendors I always end up talking to someone who knows less about the product than I do.
Anybody know why the "96 model would be listed with the newer XJ's for this product, or does the listing sound to you like a mistake?
