i guess i can try them out in tellico on laborday


i need to put and end cap on them

but how do you like them

they are just tack welded so i can change them

n2

heh.....good idea :usa:

Would make some great tie downs on my junk too

Whats behind them? If they aren't tied into anything I'd be worried about transfer all the weight of a hard hit to those 2 mounts points on the body tub.

Where in FL are you??

there tied to the rollcage in 2 spots


i am in melbourne

All that will do in a roll over will bent your cowl, windshield frame, and shear those two screws like toothpicks. There's a reason that full cages use a front hoop that bolts to the body tub just above the rocker panel.

edit: sorry i was referring to the front cage bars. Your rear sliders look good for protecting the body.

How do you like those pizza-cutters in tellico-type terrain. I'm guessin' you don't run much sand... :eek:

Seeing as how their is an excessive amount of body damage to your rig I can see how those are necessary:flipoff2:

Hey I like the side bars. Do you have any full side and front shots of your rig? I am thinking of going to the 38.-11 bogger and just want to see how it looks. I like the exo it keeps the windshield frame from smashing in a light roll. I would do something like that but gotta have a full top in Washington state.

Looks good flmanyj. I really like the YJ! Very nice! We love those skinny boggers up here:D

I take it you have never flopped your rig. You'll be changeing the front cage mounts if you survive. :D My $.02 - Weld that fawking cage to the frame.

Now as far as the side bars - looks like something to get stuff hung on but if you like them more power to ya:D

as some of you guys are bagging on this guy, he's pointing out
the quarter-panel bars. not his cage.

and I've seen kits that use the windshield-hinge mounting holes
for the front hoop before. the only big pisser I see about the
way the front hoop attaches to the hinge is that now that wind-
shield can no longer be folded down. huge PITA I think.

but keep up your work dude...........

But, they use the LOWER windshield mounts, not the top ones. The cowl is stronger than the windshield frame, which is what flmanyj has attached the cage to.
IMO, the ends of the side bars need to be made to meet the body so they do nort hang up w/ the roots and such that are prevelant in Tellico, as he has stated he goes to.

Ian........ you are correct sir, I recant my statement....... I wasn't
looking/thinking close enough...... that cage would fold/hinge-fail
in a hard roll.... a flop maybe not. a hard roll, it'll self-remove the
windshield when it goes on it's lid......

--Sherpa..... I stand corrected.

Just because "they" make a kit for it doesn't make it right or safe. Hell, "they" make street locks and adapters to put SBC infront of t-5 transmissions. So think about it.

I just hate to see anyone get hurt.

you cant see from the pic but there is also a rollbar in side if the jeep that attches to the frame by were your foot goes

and the out side bar you see attaches to that so you kinda
have 2 rollbars

the one you see just protects the windshild frame

and the other one protects the driver in a hard roll

were they mount to the wind shield there is 4 bolts on each side

I like 'em! Something new.
They can double as towel racks, too!
