I was being a jackass, I said that because I see guys spending more on their Jeep then what they paid for it but don't put the money into the safety and cheap out on the cage. Personally I don't think a Rock Hard cage would hold up to shit. Just my .02

My biggest pet peeve is when people comment on something they know nothing about. I've witnessed a Rockhard cage tumble down slick rock in Tellico and it only caused a small dent in one of the tubes after 3 complete roll overs. Your .02 is worthless unless you have something to back it up.
If somebody wants to a cage that is safer, you rip out the factory one, and put in a good tig welded cage with frame tie-ins.
You do NOT rely on the factory cage (which is made of tubes that slide into each other, then mounted to the body) period. If you want to be safer, do the job right. Don't buy a bolt on kit that relies on a sub-par starting point.

I guess you told me huh, my comment and .02 were worthless, I know nothing about 4wd stuff and should have kept my mouth shut.....I just wanted to be a internet badass for a day.

So some minor set backs....due to the good ole prosthtic leg I need the seat to sit a little higher than we anticipated so we have head clearance issues in the cage so we have to cut 4 tubes out and rebend/notch/weld em in....sux but we'll get it
