probaby won't work cause it ment for race cars, I didn't look at it toomuch but I would go for a cage with 1 3/4 tubing .120 wall. I think summit has some or so I heard
I would look at companies built specifically for CJ's. I think a guy or two in the club have gotten a cage from here:

Here's another, uses the stock hoop which is not ideal, but whichever Kruse who has the white jeep has a similar set-up and has beat on it pretty hard.

Dont get one made by a racecar company, unless its made out of chromoly then it would be ok. The ergonomics would probably suck. What kinda fab skills do you have? Thought about making your own?
Hey, I know some one that did that... :flipoff2:Quote:

If you have access to a bender and welder I would do it yourself. There are a couple of people who are running prefab or kit cages in the club, but they would have to give you their opinion on them.
Yea if yall looked they've got an application for a CJ7 which last I checked was not a race car, but there is a guy with a 401 that runs 12s in the 1/4 mile with a 4" lift and 35s. Would need to see some pictures of one installed. Maybe you could email them and have them send you pics. One of the bronco guys on here had a thread with that same site a few weeks ago.
I still haven't figured out what's wrong with using the factory roll bar. It's bigger than what most people replace it with anyway. The tenessee offroad one looks good, but I'd be kinda worry about the head to bar clearance. If you notice on mine I bent the outer spreaders to give about 6" more clearance than that kit gives you. But I bet you could just move the ones they supply out a little more onto the bends of the hoops.
That bolt together **** looks cheap.
The eor one looks good but I would move those inner spreaders closer to eachother to give more head clearance.
Stay away from bolt together kits like the Rockhard4x4parts etc... Alot of guys in the club just used their factory bar and added a front hoop and bracing to it. Just keep in mind, what you build will be keeping you safe. Build it sound so in the chance you do flop or roll it doesn't bend, make it so that it will last more than just one time.
Oh and triangulation..... :flipoff2: just had to throw that in there.
