family cage vs sport cage
i understand that the family cage provides more protection for anyone in the back seat, but is that the only advantage? or the family cages stronger? am i the only person that prefers the looks of the sport cage? just wondering

I personally like the family cage better myself, but I do have the sport cage in mine.

It really just depends on personal preference and if you have passengers in the back.

I like the look of the sport cage better. If i get in a spot where the people in the back could get hurt, i just make them get out.

I think the actual main purpose of the 'family' cage is to provide support for shoulder belts, so in that sense it is a bit safer. I doubt there is much difference in roll protection between the two.

I also have a Family style cage, but I do like the look of a Sport cage better, I'm willing to trade if anyone is around CT area.

I had the sport bar in my 91, bought and installed a family cage. Around here everybody wants family cages, I can't even give my sport bar away, so it is still laying in the back yard.

I'm also willing to trade my sport for a family cage. I have 3 little ones (of course only 2 will fit in the back) and would like to have the extra comfort of a shoulder belt in the back. I liked my sport cage when I was younger, but since I am a family man now, likes change.

I love my sport bar. Who uses their backseat anyway!!! 
The Family cage does look good though. and there are many companies who make add ons for it. When I have a kid, Im sure i will make some protection in the back for him/her.

I'm a TJ owner, and I still freely admit that I still lust longingly after sport cages. They just look so much better, more bad-***, and more...Jeep. If you don't have kids in the back, then there's really no need. My back seat has been sitting in the garage ever since I took it out. Hasn't been back in. I really have no need of the family bars. One day I may go ahead and cut my own cage. We'll see.

I like the sport cage too, swapped family cage for it. My backseat's been sitting in my garage for about 6 years.
