So I'm in the market for a pre bent roll cage for my 97 4 door xj. I currently have a rock hard complete cage. But it's not installed. (From a previous rig). However looking into a pre bent setup. So I can make the new rig a complete trail rig. Any good ones? I'm looking at the d&c extreme cage Kit. Since I can't seem to locate the T&J Kit. Any reviews, or opinions is greatly appreciated.

 

I have the D&C extreme cage. I am very happy with it. The overall fit was great. I did have to do some minor tweaking, but a that could just be because my rigs been beat pretty hard. All in all it is a very good beginner cage. I do plan to add some things. Like a "c" pillar and some triangulation/gussetts. But even without all of that it is 100X better than no cage.

 

At dbmetalworx.com we will be getting a kit together soon, as another option. Will be made of 1-3/4"x.120

 

When you say minor tweaking. What did you have to do?

 

I'll be looking at it.

 

Used a small ratchet strap to pull the 2 front tubes toward each other about 1/2" so that I could center them on the foot plates, it may actually be designed to mount on the edge of the plate in the front, for a little more leg room. But I wanted the feet centered. That was it. Other than that, it went perfect.

 

how much was the kit

 

I believe it ended up being. A little over $700 shipped. I opted for the DOM. I also want to say. I do not have carpet, interior trim, or headliner. So I did not have to worry about burning any of that stuff.

 

not bad at all.

 

No, a very fair price.

 

I'm looking at t&j cage now compared to d&c. Both seem to be great quality.
