Depends on your skill level and tube prices in your area. 1.75 .25 wall HREW is $44 a stick here and you'd need at least 5 or 6. Double that for DOM.

So he should worry about axles before safety components?

Reread what I said. Didnt say cages are bad when done right. This pic looks half way decent. The OP version sucks ***

Some build these ugly *** exo's because they think they look cool. They lack triangulation and if used can cause huge safety issues. So yes I seriously doubt OP will use a cage for whats its intended use is. Build some axles first gots my vote

So a exo tied into the frame is going to cause more harm than what would happen if you rolled and your sheet metal roof caves in on you?

you're not a fan of them. I replied and disagreed saying that cages look bad(***) when done right (implying that they are useful as well)
and there are way more rocks out and around CA so a cage is a good call.
I read you loud and clear dont worry. ditch the hate man the OP's just looks like a rough idea anyway

i like exo cages. mine will have one hopefully soon too.
i don't need one inside, i don't plan on anything more than a flop, so a high speed cage isn't necessary. besides, i want all the room i can get inside.

hey rockrash, if that's your jeep, do you have any shots from the front so i can see how your lights look?
our jeeps are very similar looking.

You either like or hate exos. I like the look of them and will have one later this year. It's all about personal preference. I don't like the look of flares especially bushcrackers but some love them. Mine will be built to withstand a roll because I wheel my heep pretty hard and have already flopped it 4 times and took a lit roll on the roof once and the interior is too small for a decent cage.
