nano

sweet,! what is it from

Nice!! Looks like it'd be a little harder for a passenger to crawl in the rear, but that's not a biggie. Removable doors would put it together nicely, i think. I'm curious what you got it off of too!

mcnslayer

looks great. I also would love to know what you got it off so I can go get one

sandblaster87

thanks guys.
its not to bad back there im a pretty guy & i have no problems. im not sure what its from, it was in an xj when i found it (it also has a lift & swing out tire rack im going to try & get) but i was thinkin maybe from an older jeep like a cj my or some thing like that. but i really dont have an idea.

I wouldn't trust it. you actually put that in its side or roll the it the rear feet will do through the wheel wells. it only protects ones in the rear bench not the driver and passenger since it has no a pillar. its your life but roll cages you do not mickey mouse!

darknezz

as far as the actual practicality of a "roll cage" I too thought this same thing when I saw this, I think it was meant to be more for just looks in this application though, at least I hope that was the idea

xjoffroad

I hope that to. It will not save a life.

ColoradoXJ88

...i think he knows it's not going to save the driver and front passenger, considering it ONLY covers the rear bench...

sandblaster87

you mean it wont save me..lol yeah i wasnt to worried about that (dont plan on rolling her over, hope that day never comes) i also thought it would help some what by making the unibody kind stronger in away. i also did think about the rear finder wells, i wasnt to crazy about it, i have longer plates for the top & bottom not sure how much it would hep or not. but thank you guys for your concern.

I'd be a bit concerned about the 2 little bolts that hold it together as well. I'd lay a fat bead on the joints and build me some front legs and spreader bars.

Ya that's a killer find & a great starting point to make a full cage out of! Looks good man!!!

Now just give rockhard 4x4 a call and get the rest. They make a pretty awesome roll cage for the XJ!

I've got to believe any cage is better than none unless it inspires you to do something riskier than you might otherwise do.

iam going to add on to the cage soon. i also got some more JY parts i found 3 spare tire racks. bought two of them & going back for the 3rd, cost me under $30 for both & there 2 diff. kinds.
