    If it's a custom cage, why can't they fab it to allow you to run the soft top??

    I was considering doing this as well. It seems like it would be possible if the roll bar behind the driver was in the same spot as stock, and then the stock brackets were removed and welded onto the new cage in the same spot.

    It has been done to TJs and even unlimited TJs

    can't see a reason why it shouldn't work with either 2dr or 4dr

    the only thing that I would worry about is the fitment as far as gaps at the front.. other than that.. it should be really easy

    i finaly officialy put in for a quote to have it done with Liquid Iron Industries. i know the Tim and does exceptional work. and with the CNC plasma and CNC benders he should be able to replicate my cage for anyone and mail it to them as a weld-in kit.

    if your are interested, shoot him a message and let him know!!! the more interest he gets the better it will be!
