The all new reinforced cage kits come with everything you?ll need to strengthen your factory roll bar into a solid foundation if a roll over takes place. We start off with 1020 .120 Wall DOM tubing which is one of the strongest materials available. Each kit includes the new Knuckle System that attaches to the factory roll bar, using a unique pivot and fastening point on one end and grade 10 fasteners on the other. Making it one of the strongest and the most solid mounts available for your Jeep?. All of our cages were engineered to bolt-in and require no modifications to the vehicle to ensure a rock solid install while creating the strongest cage kit available.
Great cage especially for the price. Very comparable to the Rock Hard 4x4 cage with very similar build quality and steel thickness. I am very happy with this cage. For install, a lot of trimming will need to be done on door surrounds (for soft top) and on freedom panels for hardtop for fitment. I also had to trim of the factory molding off of passenger side to fit a pillars but all in all, not a bad install.
Tubing is high quality DOM and not junk HREW. Welds are solid but could look more visually appealing. Coming powdercoated is a bonus. Don’t expect it to fit perfect right out of the box. Jeeps tubs all have there little tweaks especially if they have been off-road prior. You’ll need to strap and pull bars into place etc. There’s quite a bit of trimming of plastics involved and you’ll have to cut the soft top roll bar surrounds quite a bit to clear the cage turn buckles. You’ll also have to cut the freedom panels of your hardtop to clear those buckles as well. The top must sit down flat onto the oem roll bar and the upper windshield crossbar turn buckles prevent that is why the freedom panels will require being notched out.
Love the kit - not every piece lined up on my 17-year old Jeep, but with ratchet straps and some help from YouTube (e.g. all the clamps will not close all the way, but will tighten to torque spec) I got it done. I wish I had done this years ago.
The cage is actually high quality. Tubing is all 120 wall DOM. All the welds look great. The install was easy because the parts were welded and assembled very precisely. All the threads were chased and pre greased. The hardware was grade 10.9. I was actually surprised on the quality. The kit comes with nice padding. This is a legit cage kit.
Only problem I found where the six dash bolts were too short had to go buy longer ones
I really like this cage. I needed a no welding and affordable option and this was both. I looks good and although I have yet to roll with it I'm pretty sure it will protect the front passengers. It is very sturdy. I have a 2002 TJ and my doors actually fit better after installing, I think things were sagging a bit and this pulled it all back into shape.

Q: Is OEM factory padding compatible with this kit? I noticed in some of the pics, extra padding for new bars married with the OEM padding that comes on the factory roll bar. Does the kit come with the extra padding? Answer this question
