OR-Fab Sportcage
After seeing some video and pictures of JK's that have gone rubber side up I have a few concerns about the factory sport cage.....I am thinking of the OR-Fab Sportcage. Has anyone seen one of these put to the test yet? If so can you direct me to some pics or video.....I can't seem to find any pics or video of this unit that has been tested.

I'm pretty sure there is a YouTube video of a TJ with an OR-Fab cage taking a good tumble at Moab. Everyone walked away safely and the roll was NOT pretty. I've got an OR-Fab cage and I don't even have a lift yet. Having been in a rollover before, putting in a cage was at the top of my list. I hope to never test it out offroad but if it happens I am very confident that my cage (which runs to the floor) will provide me with significantly more protection than the stock setup.

They can save your life in the event of a roll over!! The OR-FAB cage with floor supports is next on my mod list.
Read this article...watch the video too:

Scooby, I ran across you in another thread, saw your Jeep, and that is when I decided that I would have to do something....I saw, as most have probably seen, the TJ rolling down the tunnel at Hells Revenge.....If you notice the front windshield not collapsing during that roll, I knew there had to be something in that Jeep....it is the OR-Fab....kind of sells me....as far as the Smitty stuff.....I had the XRC sliders on my Jeep......they made the worst noise during the slightest of body flex (releasing the clutch on my flat driveway).....so I am doing a little more studying on them.....seems to be some complaints about the fit of their rear bumper as well.... I get concerned when I hear stuff like that......especially if it is protecting my head and neck. And I am glad you are ok after that mishap with the idiot in the intersection.
