Hooked
He doesn't drive it on the street. Still a lot of money though and a lot of work.
Huh, I took it as it's not a DD but still isn't a trailered only kind of rig. Oh well, either way that $6-7k is your DTD right there.

True, my understanding is that the JK uses the A and B pillars to stabilize the interior, but if you flop it or lay into a tree or boulder, the cost of those damaged parts easily makes up the difference in cost. Not that I would spend $6k, but $2,500 for a prefab cage vs $1,900 for a sport cage is relatively close.

Very true but the full cage won't save body panels from damage. It's only job is to protect the occupants. What is your aim here? Occupant safety or body panel damage? Again, I'd argue that unless you are worried about a high speed incident, a sport cage will be more that enough protection.
They do look cool!It will limit damage if I remove the windshield, chop the B-pillar and run corners. Those are the big ticket items prone to trailer damage. Plus it looks cool.

Don't mean to butt in here but $6-7K for a rollcage for a street driven Jeep? :shock: Unless you plan on dropping off of Black Bear or doing KOH, anything you encounter is gonna be a slow roll situation and the sport cages will more than hold up for that. :twocents:
That may be true but multiple rolls implies either a high speed wreck as Eddie mentioned or rolling off a hill. I would think the biggest danger there would be an ejection. The sport cages are remarkably stout.It's a stretch to say anything he will encounter will be a slow roll situation. There are plenty of places to end up in a multiple rollover situation.

I think piginajeep or Sharkey recently commented that the Evo cage is available in 2007-2011. You just have to call ORE and ask about it.Guys, pump the brakes. Although I prefer look of a full cage, I am simply exploring options. If I had all the answers, I would not have solicited advice and commentary. Eddie made a great case for the Evo over RH, and I didn't find any sport cage for my 2007 from Evo. That left RH who has a nice product or PS, who does not tie into the windshield without customization. There are fewer full cage options without going custom. Based on funding priorities, my limited time and lack of welding skills on tube, the choice seems clear. I will most likely wait for Evo to release their 2007 sport cage and work towards a set of PR60's and cylinder assist before my Moab trip in December. Crazy how those three things cost more than you Jeep is worth, but that is how we roll - right. Thank you to all who contributed.
Wait a minute.... this isn't how this is supposed to work!!!
You're supposed to pretend like you know everything and try to fight everyone because your opinion is the only one that matters. Then this thread goes to the infirmary, you tell us to stop drinking the kool-aid, and then make YouTube videos about how much we suck.
UUUGGGHHHHH
LOL!! Brakes pumped. Have you called EVO recently? I was pretty sure they said their 2007-10 cage should be out by now.
07-11 EVO sport cage is currently up on EVO MFG website. I would just go with that and be done with it. I'd be placing my order right now if I didn't already have a RH cage.
BTW, how is the pheasant hunting looking this year?
LOL! Killjoy. Just when we were getting all good & lathered up!
