XJ Roll Cages

im trying to find a roll cage for my 98.. The only one i can find is made by Rock Hard 4x4... But its like 1000$ which really isnt that bad but i was wondering if anyone knows of some that are a bit cheaper. If not a lot cheaper lol.. Thanks!

Nice find I've been searching google for cages for awhile and never found these. Was gonna go with the Rock Hard kit, but the Jeep Speed cherokee cage one looks sweet. Nice find

You may be able to find someone locally that can fab one up for you. Mine was custom built by Carolina Rock Shop in NC. But before you ask I bought it used from the guy whom it was built for, so I didn't pay full price

That must have taken like 5 men and a small boy to wrangle that thing in there? lol

Or does it slide in nice and easily? Looks like a sweet cage.

If you pay 1000 for the rock hard cage your an idiot. They look nice and would probably save you in a normal rollover, but they have absolutely zero triangulation. I have seen much much nicer/safer weld in cages for almost half the price (like the above mentioned)

The only thing i like about the rock hard is that it is bolt in. I would pay 500 for it MAX.

I modified (shortened the 4 legs and center bar) a stock TJ cage to fit in mine. Final cost $50 for lunch and drinks for my friend who did the welding.

I think if I ever get any sort of cage, it'll be a custom job through a friend or a local shop. The guy I wheeled with a few weeks ago had a full custom cage that he built for his bronco, even made it so the top could go on and off easily. I'd most likely do one with a B-pillar hoop connected to another hoop just behind the rear seats, and triangulated to the rear. I wouldn't even worry about an a-pillar bar, as most sports cars that drag race and road race only have the bar right behind the drivers seat with triangulation to support it. Keeps it more streetable that way, at least for 2 people in the front seats, but is still well protected.

I know everyone hates motion offroad but they also have a cage. But I think its stolen from D and C, or looks like the one they have.
