note to self: find someone with a JK, figure out a cage, and sell them installed for $$$$$$
As with anything, you pay for their precise bends, quality, etc, etc. Yeah, I can't justify that cost, I'd just go have someone local make it, if that was the case. Of course, this would take less time, go where it's supposed to, you know the drill.

Also, to tie into the frame, there are very few that do, that I'm aware. Yes, while that would be ideal, these cages hold up to what it is people are using them for.

Yes, that's the one. I considered one in my XJ, until I rolled it w/o one...then got out of that game. I've seen some rigs after a roll w/ this cage and it's provided more protection than stock...the price is reasonable and it's also fit well enough to DIY. Longshot at best for me at the moment...
