you said sport cage ... most of the jeeps seen had factory roll bar. and i think he ment the JK sport cage is better then the TJ sport cage.
i don't know about the JK roll bar though, something about it bugs me ... i really hope to build a full one-off cage this winter for mine.
i used to be able to say "my DD has a full cage" ... till this state wouldn't let me drive the YJ any more.

Well Guys,
Being I had not checked this tread in a week its grown pretty well to what i expected. I would like to take a second and thanks Joe, Mel and a couple of you other out there for the pats on the back and Joe, we do need to wheel together someday.
On the sport cage thing, being i was wheeling all the weekend, I had some more time in the seat and realized something kind of odd, if your REALLY flex the heck out of these you can hear the bolts holding it together squeek. Just food for thaught.

Like my dad used to tell me when I was a kid - "Don't think shit like this can't happen to you."
The flop happened around 10am. Got her back on all 4s and wheeled the rest of the day until 6pm. Winched a few other jeeps out of water/mud. Drove her back home 1.5 hours. Washed it yesterday and the SOB still appears water tight, which is amazing considering it leaked when it was new.
Here are the pics.
Still wheeling after the flop.

I've been close to flopping(driver mirror less than a 1' from the ground) and I can't say I enjoyed it much
!
Looks like an upgrade to the factory rollcage is in order though after seeing these pics
