Ok guys and gals. as you know it cut the top on my xj and now I am getting ready to cage the XJ. I just want to see some opinons. Should i go full out and order the 10 point cage that has the halo and down bars around the drivers compartment or should i start off with just the 8 point and not worry about other part.
The 10pt should give you a more rigid structure and provide more places to attach "stuff" so it won't go bouncing out of the back of your topless XJ - plus provide a bit more protection -
well, if i was considering the two, i would go with the 10 point. just safety. sure, it may cost more, but i have a rather high price on my life. but, thats only my opinion
what exactly am I looking at in those pics? 'cause it sure doesn't look like anything made for an XJ...
A typical 'full' cage for an XJ would be a 6-pt or 8-pt cage, with down bars at the a-pillar, b-pillar, and d-pillar, and maybe additional supports to near the c-pillars (8-pt).
those were just some referance pics. the rear bars will go all the way back to the d pillar. there is a main hoop at the b pillar and the 10point will add down bars at the a pillar and a hallo around the front part of the compartment. Pretty much the 10 point is the same kit that D&C extreme has.
IMHO any internal XJ cage without a halo over the front seats and downbars at the a-pillars is worthless. The main problem in an XJ during a roll is that the a-pillars and roof area directly over the dash and front seats crushes in.
Thanks guys. I ordered the 10 point. I will have pics once Santa(UPS/FedEx)drops it off.
