Default 2dr RH rear cage

Is any body running the RH sport cage 2 door rear portion, yes 2 door. You can find it on the RH website but no installed pics. Ya'll got some great pics of the 4 door install, especially the "chic" in seattle. Just asking for a pic, if anybody in the world has installed this I'm sure they are in this forum.

I purchased the rear crossbar only for my 2 dr Rubi but have not installed it yet. The rear rollbars were about 1/2 to 1 inch too narrow to easily install the bar. RH suggested I use a High Lift jack to spread the cage to install the bar. I was told that the cages dimensions are pretty inconsistent. I will remove the hard top sometime soon to do the installation but thought I would let you know my experience.

I've got the 2-door cage. I'll try to take a couple of pictures and post them tonight.

That pic helped greatly. Ya know what they say... a thousand words and all. Thankyou. It does answer my questions. A frameless soft top will not work with the rear bar, it extends outside of the cage radius. It does however look like it would solve the flapping issue with a safari top.

IMHO, i'm not wanting to start another debate on this issue, with the complete install you are looking at significant increase in strength when dealing with side load pressure (any side). I'm going with the cage.

Sorry didn't get to it last night, but here you go.
I get very little flapping from the top.
My trail cover doesn't fit right though and allows rain to get in.
