Yeah, not too far away.

Hybrid cage is the plan, but it might be on hold for a little with a potential house purchase in the near future.

Thanks. It's made by DayStar and you can buy them through Quadratec.

At the time I didn't think I'd run a winch and I wanted the money. Nice sturdy bumpers, but I don't regret selling it and building the bumper I have now.

Time to catch this thing up a little. Last fall on Thanksgiving day I had a roll over. Funny as I was hoping to cage it during the winter months anyways. Of course because of the roll the Jeep has sat until recently as I've had other toys to occupy my time.

I had been contemplating lowering it before the roll, so I lowered it from 9" down to 4.5" and regret ever going so high. I used a porta power to bring most of the roof back up and then had a new windshield put in.

Now for the cage. New rockers to tie the cage into:

It's hard to make anything "straight" on a bent Jeep, but you can try! The beginning of the hybrid cage:

Thanks, but with the way I wheel, it was inevitable. The roof was the only clean panel so I guess I had to take care of that issue.
