Default Yet another roll cage thread

So after a solid year of research I have not found a roll cage that I totally like. Options being ORfab, RockHard, PoisonSpyder. The rockhard seems to be the most popular, but I do not like the design of all the knuckle clamps. Or fab is nice but I question the strength of the bars sliding over each other and held together by a bolt. The Poison Spyder has been my favorite but I would like a windshield tie in. I was about to purchase the PS last spring and they had just stopped the c pillar bundle, UGH serves me right for waiting too long.

My Question to anyone with one of these cages, Has anyone actually rolled with one? I would like feed back on how they held up.

Pics of any of the three would be awesome too.

I like the Poison Spyder too. But my problem with it is the rain catcher.

OR Fab has gotten out of the JK cage business….. I tried, unsuccessfully to find one last week and didn't have any luck.

have you looked at the Synergy cage kit? It ties into the frame with bushings to isolate vibration and looks pretty solid. It's the one that I've been leaning toward.

The rock hard cage saved my life. Flipped 200+ plus feet off a cliff in big bear. Def get an aftermarket cage!

I also found a fab company name KMA Fabrication that has a few JK's on their site with custom cages that look pretty good. I am currently waiting on more info.... Has anyone seen their work in person? or heard of them?
