Will bondo crack if it flexes at all? It just seems ghetto.....lol but if it'll work I'll do it just to clean it up

I would suggest a dremmel or similar tool with a grinding disk or something to grind them down a little if you want to clean it up. If they had a good welder on hand using tig it should look so much better than what you have there. I am not good at welding myself, well my welds never look great but i know if i showed my friend this he would say the same
i thought about grinding them but i really dont want to remove any material. this is an option but prob a last resort. the piece i posted pics of will be getting replaced. i talked to dave earlier at northridge4x4 to let him know about the issue. its gonna get resolved one way or another. the rest of the cage is not so bad, but could use a little beautification before powdercoat:yup:
i can this weekend. the rest of my cage is in my dads garage. its much closer to the powdercoat shop. I will be taking it after work one morning and didnt wanna leave it in my ride while at work overnight. i'll get some more pics of the rest of the cage tomorrow. its a big difference from the piece i posted pics of. still not like evo or psc welds but they are not in that price range either.
Received an email from James at Rockhard.
"I agree with you about the welds. And if there is a noise in the tube lets fix this. I am sorry about this. I will be sending you a replacement rear center section for your 2 door. Is the rear bar ok?"
Sounds like they stand behind their products and I will be receiving a new rear section. Hopefully someone just had a rough night on the town:rock:
I will update further when I receive said new rear section.

that is great that they stand by their product! their cage is on my list and to know that they are willing to assist if their customers are not happy is good to hear.

On the topic of the PSC cage. Mine was noisy and rattled a little. then I wielded the front windshield brackets to the cage to keep the movement down and to also help support the windshield. no more noise from the cage after that. I was running a soft top the whole time also.
Glad to hear it. I've always had great customer service from Rock Hard in the past and glad to see they are still at it :thumb:

X2 on Rockhard's customer service. I bought a scratch n dent set of sliders that turned out to be missing lots of specialty hardware. I contacted them and told them the truth and offered to pay shipping and for the hardware but they got me everything free of charge v
so are they not going to send you the rest with "better" welds?
i mean, it's no brainer that they should send the rear section since it has faults but the welds look like ass(and they agree) for the amount of $ paid IMO.

I was going to say since your Jeep is already at EVO se if they can grind off the junk and do it right, but you are getting new stuff. Happy to hear that too, cause those pics looked bad on my iPhone. looking at them now on a desk top I was like

Dang hearing all this sucks...I was leaning towards this, because everyone's praise for ease of install. now Im gonna have to really look at two or three rock-hard cages in person before I make my purchase...if their quality control is this bad, then I may go with another company.

Im sure he got a Friday cage. I would still buy from them. I am sure that someone is going to get their ass chewed for letting that cage go. If EVO let something like that come out of their shop I am sure there would be words. Rockhard made it right by replacing the unsatisfactory part. Doesnt sound like the made a big deal of it either. Dude saw unacceptable work and fixed the issue. Sounds like a company I would not mind doing biz with..:twocents:
The front cage pieces are acceptable. Nothing like the rear section. All the pics posted were from the same rear center bar section that is getting replaced. They grind the welds to clean em up, but it still needs a bit of tlc to go on my rig. The quality matches the price point. The rear didn't look to have any grinding done to it at all. I would still buy another cage from them at this point. I got a killer deal for all three sections. The psc cage would have cost more just for the front. It will be nice once I play around with it and have it powdercoated.
