As you can see in this pic, the windshield hinge is not a strong point: ![]()

True,I have the ORF cage and it also is supported on both sides, by 2 bolts on the top of the windshield.

not trying to be an *** here. but that pic is deceptive. The pivot bolt is intact. the hinge failed. With a cage in place the windshield couldn't fail in that direction. It would end up against the cage.

Those bolts are only designed to hold the windshield in place while you remove or reinstall the windshield support bars when lowering/raising the windshield - Jeep even states this on their instructional VHS that comes with the Jeep (at least it did in 2004). I think they even say "Windshield Support Bars", or something along those lines, alluding to the windshield roll bars being the main support for the windshield. thats why I kept mine: ![]()

Can't you use the footman loop and a good strap to keep the windshield in it's upright position? (tie the windshield to the forward spreader bar via the footman loop) It's the same way you keep it on the windshield when folded down

I've had my windshield on unsupported up to about 60mph. There didn't appear to be any movement. I was topless at the time so i can't comment about the fit. the windshields is what 2" wide at the bottom. I think it sits on a nice shelf. The upper tie ins help it stay snug.

I just started to look at some cages, and think am eventually going to go with the OR FAB sport cage. I don't wheel hard too often but that extra cage I think would be a good investment. It doesn't look like it, but OR Fab doesn't do a rear spreader(?) bar. Would that be a good thing to add or is it just not real necessary?

I flopped the TJ with the stock rear bars and bent one over.

Okay, i see. I guess when it comes time for the cage I can have a rear spreader bent for me.

if you want a bot in rear spreader, by the rockhard.

Would that seem like a decent path for some moderate wheeling? OR Fab sport cage with the Rock Hard rear spreader?

That'd be a great setup, but then again the whole rockhard cage would be great too lol, but for the budget I'd say that setup would be fine
