Good to hear man, it appeared you had no intentions to do so.

when you move the rear section piller to the behind the seats your not lossing much roof streanth anyway. but if your just using the jeep off road it would be a good idea to build a cage anyway..
I know alot of people say build a cage after choping but like I said you do not loss much streangth if you do it right

You lose a lot more strength than you are making it sound. That body already is known to twist. Chopping it isn't so bad on road and just casual driving. Offroad is another ballpark and soon enough you'll see for yourself why everyone tells you to cage it.

And do you have a cage made? Either answer will prove what I'm saying. Either you were smart or stupid.
