Default Synergy Weld in cage Kit for a 2 door

I recently installed the Synergy weld in cage kit and very pleased with the fitment and ease of installation. I have over 30hours in the install and you will have to cut your dash and other areas so this is not an install for the faint of heart. I opted for the removable dash bar along with ordering the removable pieces for the harness bar also. For the paint I went to the local Car Quest and had them mix up spray cans with the proper paint code PEM red rock which made it very easy. The instructions for this kit were spot on and even came with templates for the dash that gave you a starting point for the bar fitment. The main reason I went with this cage over others was the frame tie in and poly bushing bracket that welds to the frame. This will really come in handy if I do roll over ( which I hope does not happen). Post up if you have any questions and enjoy the pictures.

Do you still have the speakers and vents where the cage goes thru the dash or are they sacrificed? Looks great.

They give you some weld in brackets for 4" speakers, but yeah the factory speakers are gone. They are huge BTW! I couldn't believe how big the factory speaker box was. Thanks

Default Cage

Do you have any updates on the cage? Do you like the route you choose or do you know want something else? Looks like you used a mig right?
Thanks, I am trying to decide my self what route to take.

I love the cage! I would change the back half a little bit so I could run a trek top, the cross bar in the back at the C pillar will not allow the trek top to fit

Can you raise and lower the factory soft top over the rear bar??
