Default Chopped cage?

Has anyone chopped their stock roll cage to look like old CJ-7's slanted back? Back in '06 I remember the Rubicon King that was premiered at SEMA with a slanted back roll cage.



Not mine, but I sure do wish it was!



I love the slanted roll cage without the padding. I'm actually thinking about chopping the stock cage and replacing with larger tubes in the Rubicon King fashion, then having it painted to match the Deep Water Blue exterior. I already checked out the mounting hardware for the soft top and the soft top frame could be reused to perform in the same manner with a chopped roll cage...

Has anyone already done this?

I'm guessing he has a two door. 'Cause the 4-door's are already slanted.

Edit: Beat me to the punch.

I think it looks pretty cool to, but agree if done might as well beef it up.
