Is it going to be an internal cage or exo? Have you checked out this thread? https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/to...-cages-126612/

lol Yea i was aware of triangles and X's. The Roof design i have in mind is a circle with trangles around it connecting around the rain gutters.
(Design for roof is from the e-net also modded to what i like)

The exterior portion of my cage is about 160 ft of tube. Internal bracing will prob add anther 80 ft.

Personally, if you want cheap and safe in the same cage you need to visit T&J Performance.

1: It costs less than $800. You don't need a bender and it fits perfectly.

2: You won't have a hideous ineffective exo cage.

3: It'll hold up nicely and look good.

The only thing I would suggest is a bit more triangulation on the inside, primarily at the b-pillars.
