Finally got the OR-FAB cage pictures uploaded. Damn weather these past few days.

















Fitment is damn near perfect. I forgot to fully trim the passenger side plastic on the upper dash so it sticks out a little past the dash, but I don't care since it doesn't interfere with anything. Boxes came fully sprayed in foam, but you do have to rip everything apart to get to all the parts. Powdecoating was very very nice, although did knick and scrape a few times here and there getting the cage in. SOLID! All brackets, bolts, and welding are SOLID. This cage isn't going anywhere. Still need to find a way to get the GPS bracket on there and Aux. CB speaker bracket on there. Floor mounts are THICK.

BTW, you DON'T need to assemble everything as one unit and drop it in. We tried that, SUCH A PITA to get in. Slid BOTH sides down the dash, THEN connected cross tubes. There's enough give of the dash to slide them in. Took about 7 hours between my friend and I to get in. All in all, a GREAT cage.

 

That looks great! Something on the future mod list for me as well!

 

How is the bar across the dash? Do you find it to limit your view any? How strong does the floor mount seem to be? I'd like to get a cage within a year or so, something to help a higher speed rollover.

 

If you're above 6' tall, I don't think it'll obstruct your view. I'm 5'9" and I sit nice and upright, I can't see much hood anymore. Only the dash bar. But it's a small amount that it takes up from the view of the hood. Floor mounts are THICK and solid. One complete piece, CNC bent, that get's sandwiched between the sides of the cage and body pinch seam. The seam itself is like 1/4" thick, plus the sides of the cage have a small offset tab that the floor mounts slide into. So, if you do get into a rollover, the cage itself gets jammed into the sides of the floor mount and don't just shear off the bolts that hold it. Let me take a pic so I can show you what I mean.

 

If you take a close look at the pic, just below the upper bolt (in the pic) on the inside of the pinch seam, the side plate itself has an offset that hugs the INSIDE of the pinch seam. That offset is a single bent piece. Then, the floor mount slides in front of it sandwiching the side plates. If for some reason, the bolts shear off, the floor plate will get jammed in this offset notch preventing the floor mount to slide past the side plates (hopefully). Replaced all hardware with Grade-8 bolts. I HATE hex/allen button head bolts. Those shear when torquing everything down.

 

OR Fab Rocks nice cage!!

 

Looks great.

 

that looks really nice. I like the grab handles.

 

Grab handles are nice. Makes for a good point to pull yourself up onto the JK.

 

Added to the list of future mods. 1-10 what would you say the difficulty of install is?
