I love it! Great fab, I should be doing 2 cages like this this winter (my 4dr and friends 2dr)

I like it a lot. I just never liked putting any holes in my cab. But great workmanship, love the rack part.

sub'd, I've got 2 cages planned for the future. Great work!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Sure helps keep me motivated!

Well I took it out to the Rubicon this weekend for the Cantina for the Con. Wheeled in from Loon to Spider and camped at the bottom of the box with the Dirt Bag Posse. Only got a few pictures, but got a bunch of compliments on the cage. I will be heading back home from school in a few weeks to grab some stuff, and I will grab a bunch of tube while im down there so I can plug away at the internal part of the cage. Anyways heres some pics.

Had a killer time out there. Can't wait to get back out there with some more tube added to the cage!

Nice work, nice welds (I weld for a living... Know a nicely patterned bead when I see one.) and really cool design. Props!

great wheelin pics man

Thanks for the kind words guys. Ive been fairly busy up here at school and havent had much time to work on it. Come winter break, I will be able to wrap things up. Until then, Ill be wheelin!

lets see it upside down =D
where did you get the square tubing

Old thread but still one of my favorite hybrid cages.

I'm a BROKE highschool kid, but i bought an xj for my first car and have been working on it when i have time and money. Its almost the same color as yours and i have a 4.5 lift and 32's. I've been tossing around the idea of a cage for a while but i don't want to give up cargo room, and full exo's just aren't my style. Your build is my favorite I've seen so far by a long shot and i think a hybrid cage like that is the way to go. Keep up the good work, maybe some day ill get the funds to build one and you bet i'm using your's as my example!

That being said, do you have any quick tips if you were to do the whole thing over again? what material tubing did you use? how did you tie it into the unit body?

All the answers are in the posts above.

Cage update pics
 

You have any updated pictures of the inside ? Im in the middle of mine any trying to get all the info I can.

Nice cage by the way, Im finishing up my cage then going to start on my I ton axle install.

Looks good, nice work! I'm about to start a similar cage and was looking for ideas.
