Default Sport Cage

I am trying to decide what sport cage to go with. I have narrowed it down to the Or Fab or the Rock Hard. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this cages aod filament and install Quality. What do you think is the best bang for the buck.

I had the RockHard one in my last TJ. It's on my mods-to-buy list once wife agro is down to a manageable level. Loved it. And the look was amazing.

We have OR-Fab, but they are both nice cages. OR-Fab I think has a little more bracing (goes across windshield and has optional floor mounts), but also much more involved to install. It pretty much depends on how much effort you want to make to install it and if the extra bracing is important to you

Here is an older thread asking the same question

I've got the Rockhard and without a "rollover" test--it's pretty solid/w overhead truss's rear compt truss's and cross windshield bar-

all truss's are connected using HD 3bolt commercial couplings-



Also had to relieve the drivers side "Freedom Top" for clearance--no biggee

It's notta easy install, but doable--

...any valid excuse I can get to roll with the windshield down is good in my book! Except driving around DSO at 2 AM looking for the coward who busted my windshield... fuck that guy.
