D and C Extreme Cage Kits

[Mdub]

Well, my investigations have led me to believe that this kit is probably not enough for a "warm fuzzy" during a rollover.

Uses HREW instead of DOM (about 47% weaker). Also is only 1.5" OD. Again, probably not strong enough.

Looks like an adequate cage would use 1.75" OD, .12" wall DOM tubing.

(Yes, I know DOM is a process, but DOM tubing is also a different material than HREW).

I'll keep looking. The EOR is tempting so is the Barnett.

Try Tennessee Off-Road their prises were good a couple of years ago but the prose of steel is way up. Toll Free 866-248-8638. And don't forget most everyone charges for the install kit.

Couldn't find anything like an XJ cage on that site. God, I'd hate to have to drop $2k for a custom one. There's gotta be something out there.

Looks like D&C will ship their cage made of DOM instead of HREW. Might be an option, but I can't get them to respond.

I love my D&C cage. I have no doubt if I rolled my POS it would hold up even made of HREW. Yes it is a good idea to add more tubes to it, but you would have to take a big hit to move that cage. It fit very nice... After I welded mine in the cage wouldn't move even with it not bolted to the Jeep. And for the price you really can't beat it.

I'm really starting to lean towards the Rock Hard one. I like that it is bolt in mainly because if I did roll or if I wanted another XJ for any reason, I could use this cage in the new rig...

personnally after a few months of research and looking and talking to people (company's and private party's) i went with the EOR cage i like it's fit much better and the backseat is not as overthrown by it and it was reasonably priced, that and i really don't like the looks of the D & C cage but thats my opinion.

But its a lot of money for something that bolts together & has basically zero triangulation. Maybe a starting point, but you would definately need to add some more tube to it.

I think there might be some better options out there for you Marshal. Have you checked out T&J performances cage.... its a good starting point.
