"Shut up bird. Mess around and find out!" So funny, before I closed up the eves in my shop I had dozens of birds living in them and it made it impossible to film, it just sounded like a jungle in the background
There’s a bird that chases my daughters cat around and never shuts up😂
I'm happy to hear that I am not the only one that tells my phone to shut up when it rings or beeps and that's a very nice YJ
Thanks!
0:38 i can confirm this. i had a slight lay on its side and it bent the cage enough that i want to make sure if i do have a bad roll i wont die. i no longer have any trust in the factory cage. which led me to your video
It’s a worthwhile upgrade that should be done before most of the mods ppl do that’s for sure! Hope it helped
@@FlawedOffroad yeah. it did, sucks the price went up that much on the kit you got but its not surprising,
@@HAYL0W it went up a long time ago. It’s because steel prices
Its crazy how much I started to notice cages once I started planning one. I'm in the beginning stages of making a custom one for my XJ, and this was a great walk around and has some great Ideas in it!
There’s some companies that sell pre bent tubes for xjs as well, diy kits.
Excellent! Thanks a lot for this video. I got some really good ideas even if I am keeping the sport bar with no back seat. You are right about picking up factory bars for the material. I have a 1/2 dozen of them for parts now.
I was goin to ask about ur cage but I bet 672 people probably asked about it so I waited and you finally are talkin about it
Haha when i get asked something enough times I usually make a video!
Great video thanks for the tips. The stock roll cage was also meant for a stock Jeep. Mine's definitely way heavier than a stock Jeep now. I will be using some of these ideas. Thanks
I'm buying a '95 in couple weeks when I'm on vacation in NJ.... then driving it back to Texas. Enjoyed your content , thank you bro. New sub!
Sounds like a fun trip, good luck!
Roll cage looks very good I got a 90 yj planning on roll cage too you gave me some cool idea
Good luck with it!
I need to do something like this on my scrambler build!!
I’m sure you could adapt that kit
Similar to my Poison Spyder cage.
That’s a nice cage, I don’t care for the lower A pillars, they stick out and I can’t get my size 12s past them (buddy has that cage)
Great video Dan!
Thanks!
No idea about this stuff really but the video was so good I subscribed
I have a TJ, been reading up on what I can do for a cage. Being a drag race fan for a long time, I have been looking at the NHRA rules for cages. I may end up having a buggy built. I just might be overthinking this.
Luckily you really can’t add anything that’s going to make a cage worse unless it gets welded in horribly. and Jeeps don’t really have. The best part about cage upgrades is you can do them incrementally. Mine was in 3 stages as funds allowed
Found you through another YJ guy. I like you better so I subscribed to your channel. I like your content keep it up
Thanks! Curious to hear from who
Sick yj man. I also have a 91. Gonna go watch your other videos
What you paint it with ? Rattle can or the real stuff 2k …epoxy…etc ? What color ? Thanks
Rustoleum orange lol. I did it like 8 years ago it’s still holding up pretty well
Great video. I have a 99 and 05 tj I'd like to upgrade my cages in
It’s not too hard to do especially if you do a section at the time if your budget won’t allow doing it all at once
Did or have you found the straight bar across the back to be a head knocker for the rear seat passengers?
Not that Ive noticed but I only have kids back there. They are getting taller I should check the clearance
Keep it up love the vids
Thanks!
Ever run full doors? How about the ebrake, did you move it?
Full doors fit(barely as long as you place the a pillar in the right spot, the door card touches and you have to open door to roll window down.) Whats an ebrake? lmao no this A-pillar blocks it. rather than remove the pedal I have it pushed to the floor for the cage to fit (cables have been removed for years) If you must keep a parking brake the posion spider stanchions allow the brake to stay, at the cost of needing a size 7 foot to get past it lol(I got in scotts old YJ with that cage and it was horrible getting your feet past the PS cage)
Thanks, I forgot yours is an automatic. Thoughts on the Genright Stanchions?
I’m looking for the two mounts that hold the backseat in place that they roll forward on if you know where I can get any of those let me know please
sadly I sold my parts jeep, I would try online
Look at eBay, I’m not sure if anyone sells replacements.
Can you still access the e brake pedal or did you have to modify it or what?
Shoot I didn’t think to mention that. I haven’t had a functional e brake for about eight years but I have an automatic so it doesn’t matter anyway. It absolutely will not fit with this trail gear cage. I have the pedal push down to the floor to clear the cage but there’s no cables hooked up to it anymore anyway
@@FlawedOffroad thanks for getting back to me man. I've always wondered about it
@@ninja63639 send me a message on Instagram if you have it and I can send you a little video clip of kind of what it looks like
@@FlawedOffroad I don't have it unfortunately. I may try and switch to a tj handbrake
