CJ~~

Great job man, very sexy! I agree about the backseats...people ONLY sit back there when they're desparate for a ride. SO WHY not take it out and put in a cage?

Simple math.

Not tooo hard to install. Took me one evening. I ended up leaving all the plastics off the back. It was just easier to do that then try and cut around them and make it kinda fit. My car is NOT a daily driver anymore so the interior apperance does not matter.

Nice, I have been debating getting a cage for a while now, and I think i've made up my mind! You say you can feel a deferance in chassis rigidity? And the good part about the autopower roll bar is that if you ever get ambitious enough again, you can by the front cage sperately! Good job man! :2thumbsup:

Thanks! I am in the process of building a tubing bender so I might even make a few of these and sell em. Not too sure yet. But I will definitely make a front cage.

I've ridden in a couple other vehicles with roll cages and I seemed to notice alot of squeeking. I don't know if it was because of the way it was installed or what. Does yours squeek any?

Zero squeaking. I tightened the bolts down at tight as humanly possible.

Does this cage make the rear strut bar less necessary or even render it superfluous?
