full cage is needed and in my opinion, aint worth the time and effort for me. id be worried about leakage too because as is, my door seals leak and leaves standing water on the floor in my jeep but if you dont get that back end sealed up tight for chopping the roof, i cant imagine the rust that would start from water leaking in everywhere..my 2 cents
