Default RH sport cage experience?

Has anyone seen a JK roll over with one of these cages? I know the TJ cage works pretty well. But, the JK cage seems like a weaker design to me. Sharing any fist hand experience would be appreciated.


edited to say:
I am talking about the Rock Hard cage.

I would be curious as well. I'm also wondering if there are others out there with a similar product as well?

When I looked at the pics, it looked to me the week points would be the top of the windsheild frame, and the point where the side bars connect to the flat plate by the dash? But I am no expert...

I have the RH cage installed in my JK "unlimited" and even though it's not as strong as a "RACING CAGE", it is very well built and would increase your rollover protection substantially

I have mine well padded , so there was no reason to powdercoat, that would be for "LOOKS" not comfort

I used Duplicolor primer and "hitemp" CASTIRON color

The only down side to this cage is loss of compass sensor function, but 'WHO CARES"

I'm very happy with RockHard products, including their 5-point harness bar

I ended up pricing all the prep stuff (2 stage primer, paint) and hassle factor, and decided to have someone else do it.

I called the 4 wheel parts store in Dallas and they referred me to Crosslink Powder Coating, who did an awesome job in a little over a day and for $100!

You can't beat that!

Install was NO PROBLEM!

I think this will help protect me if I decide to perform the ultimate test of the strength of the cage.
