Victor72 05-16-2002, 04:59 PM Anyone built a cage for a yj? I would like to add to the existing cage. I would like to run the tubes down the front to the floor-frame and across the windshield,has anyone done this? AND...how does this work with the full hard doors? Thanks :jeep: DOG Cajun 05-16-2002, 06:41 PM Not trying to be an ass, I suggest that you use the search function to get started, then post any further questions that you might have. This has been covered several times, so a search on "cage pics", "cages", "YJ cages", "roll cages", or some combination of these should net you a good deal of information. Good luck with your search! Cajun 05-16-2002, 06:51 PM Here ya go, this should get you started... http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=144579&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47055&highlight=YJ+cage WideJ 05-17-2002, 02:10 PM I made a hoop that goes around the windsheild and is ties into the frame. Its 2" .120 wall. The doors can close just fine but when the doors are closed you won't be able to roll up the windows because the handles are in the way of the cage. Victor72 05-19-2002, 11:30 AM OK..I understand how to use the search function and i did. Not finding much about the YJ specifically I just wanted to get input,dealing with only the YJ's. Thanks :jeep: DOG CA_YJ 05-19-2002, 04:16 PM I run a full cage in my YJ and I also run full doors and I don't have to open the door to roll down the window. http://www.thejeepsite.com/hammers/wrecking_ball/CRW_2473.jpg Sillyneck 05-19-2002, 05:08 PM 1 Victor72 05-19-2002, 08:46 PM Thank you guys. Thats what i am looking for. As far as the fab goes.. I read all the pro's and con's about the tube vs the pipe and all that,BUT what are the thoughts as of right now? If i am just going to add onto my existing(stock) cage. Which would be better? :jeep: DOG CA_YJ 05-20-2002, 12:39 AM I would go with 1 3/4 tubing Sillyneck 05-20-2002, 02:02 AM 1.75" or 2" 120 wall ERW or DOM depending on your $$$...pipe cracks...which is not cool. tube will bend and save your life where as pipe may crack and stab, maim, impail, or not serve as a cage at all and kill you :D fcfred 05-21-2002, 11:53 PM hey ca yj do you go through a complete bucket of ginger snaps on every trail ride? I like how they are right there within reach:D CA_YJ 05-22-2002, 12:36 AM Actually those were the oatmeal raisons from trader joes. They were all out of the black and whites. The best part is that they fit right there nicely and don't fall out. A must for the hammers LAME 05-22-2002, 05:31 AM TOR cage we put in a friends YJ Victor72 05-22-2002, 02:18 PM TOP | |
