FINALLY someone who is not putting 40s on a D30 so they can pose. Well done. Wheel the pee out of that sucker!!

Well if we ever end up in a civil war with our own military if the economy fails and they try taking away our rights, guns, yada yada yada....you would be one up on everyone with a trail ready utilitarian beast. Go ahead and get SLC to build you a roll cage with reinforcements for a mounted .50 cal ...you'd be smokin......literally

...come to think of it...why don't you get them to go ahead and cage that monster? Dude ..it's just a lil more money, hell it's just money...do it...she'll understand

Very nice build. Are you single? (Kidding, really)

No posing here. Plan to wheel the harder trails now.

I was thinking of a full cage at some point, but for now I think I am ok with the sport cage. Maybe she will understand, but my accountant won't.

I like the sport cage, forget the company, but it's an all bolt on front and rear and down the sides of our windshield pillars. Two of my local buddies with TJ's have the same version and have both rolled and both had very minimal damage, one had to get a windshield was all but everything else was fine.

That's a Rock Hard Cage. or could be the OR-Fab one but that one is no good, so hopefully not.

SASQUATCH

Rock Hard, that's it, thanks for clarifying, really like that setup.

It's Rock Hard's Sport Cage.

Best mod you hope to never use.

Your Jeep is looking awesome!
