I am about to do a custom cage and know what I want. I plan to keep the center hoop, have the spreaders go from the center of the center hoop out to the corners front and back like a big X with a rear cross bar. I will have a dash bar, bar going from the top of the center hoop to the lower rear bar like on the CJ's and gussets throughout. The front bars will go through the dash, to the floor and tie into the frame.

This will be for a 99' TJ, 35's, RE 5.5. I will be rockcrawling a lot with it in the crushers at Browns Camp and other places as well. I will have kids in the back and want it strong. Obviously I will have the kids get out in dangerous places but better safe than sorry.

To save time, I am considering having Essentially Offroad pre-cut the bars/buying a custom cage. Has anyone bought a custom cage from them? Was their measurements correct/bars the right length etc? Quality? I have archived and read the previous posts. I have also considered S&W racecar.com.

I have the S&W cage in my Chevy. If I had it to do all over again, I'd just bend my own. With the amount of fitting and notching required for installation, I might as well have bent the tubes as well. I'm going to have to add quite a bit of triangulation to it as well.
