Default Exo-Cage on the street?

I am thinking of building an exo-cage for my xj but it is a daily driver. Is it even road legal to have one of these on a street rig?

Yep, it's street legal to have an exo-cage. They look cool on a lift and built rig, but it would look goofy on a stocker.

Well I am going to be putting 35s on my jeep as well as I want to incorporate rock sliders and my own take on the bushwacker flat flares as well as I am building custom front and rear bumpers. I know itll look a lil odd with 31s and 3in lift but I have already managed to roll once lol

im going to incase the roof and body in an exo and probly make the front bumper and rock sliders into the cage the only thing im not doing is cutting into the roof so itll be tied in at the rock sliders and on the fenders as well as the front bumper. Dont know if this answers your question not sure what the difference is between a hybrid and full exo lol still a bit of a n00b
