Yea the seal all didn't work... So I'm gonna try some sodering it on and adding some liquid metal to it.... But I stilll am looking for another one... I'm gonna go down to the slavage yard as soon as I can talk again ( had three wisdom teeth pulled yesterday, so my mouth is all swollen and no one can understand me)


The liquid metal worked but now my pressure regulator is leaking so I know it just needs a new gasket... so I'm gonna go grab one tomorrow...

they look stronger then anything i could think of... lol... also if you think about it and you have these and you end up on your roof... the tube would be pushing into one another... these hold them in a straight line basically so i would think they would be fine... i may have just made no sence but in my head it was perfect... lol

those are the ONLY safe way to make a cage removeable.

but at $28+ shipping each, you'd have $500 in just those for a full exo.

removable means reuseable.


I think those removable brackets are a waste for him. build it and use it and when the xj has lived it's life, cut the cage off nicely and THEN buy the brackets to reuse it on a new body

Quick search brought this up - http://csloffroad.com/xjultimaterollcage-4door.aspx

Earlier today I was considering getting an internal cage instead of an external, and then setting up a removable top.
