Default Rolled my xj

So this weekend went out with a big group of jeeps. Did a run from silverwood to crab flats. Within the first 30 min rolled my baby over... Now I trying to figure should I repair it, if so how? Or do I just move on?? Input would be much appriciated. I did finish the run too.

Remove the doors, hit the damage with a hammer until its close to looking normal, then a good cage!

Definitely fixable. In the future, adjust your wheeling habits accordingly to prevent rollover. lol

OK thanks. What do by you think between a exo, interior, or hybrid cage?

Makes me feel better to hear it's fixable. I think I need 2 doors though. Shattered the passenger door window and the front window is stuck Cuz the track bent... Yeah I definitely adjusted the rest of the day...

Straighten it the best you can, and put a cage in it.

Awesome. You just added some character. Makes you look like a bad-*** now. Bang it out until the doors open, done.

And your side mirror laughs at your roll-over.

Hybrid cage.
Something that ties covers the roof, runs down your a and b pillars, drops inside the rear and ties in back there..may want it to tie into your slidlers where it comes down the a pillar.

Plenty of designs out there.

I like the hybrids. They are pretty awesome looking.
