- In this video I prep my 99 xj for the rockhard 4x4 sport cage, test fit the cage, and finally install it. In a later video I will give an update on my overall impressions of the install and living with the cage in a daily driver.
First part of the video is prep and install.
ACTUAL INSTALL STARTS JUST AFTER 37 MINUTES
Thank you for watching and stay tuned for the update video coming soon.
After watching this video again and watching other cage installs, I like the idea of this of this product more and more, and would consider getting one as well. Going to watch your next video of the shakedown and opinion after you drive with it for while. I can see how test fitting in the vehicle and then chasing all the threads after paint are a must. I would add that I will have to assemble the whole thing out of the jeep to check for fitment and "other issues" maybe even use that time to paint it or consider taking it to a powder coater. I also was looking into the other bars that are available to be added to the base kit. Great video TY. I appreciate the raw and real world struggle as a lot of videos avoid that or don't show it making things seem easier than real life.
@vinniedimodica8705 yes for sure check the threads. I'd definitely recommend installing in the vehicle before powdercoat or paint. Get some good ratchet straps and a friend or two. Be patient and hopefully it goes in properly. Overall I enjoyed the cage after getting over the initial frustration of installation. Good luck!
I couldn't tell if you have frame stiffeners, if you don't can you feel a difference with any body flex with this cage?
I don't have stiffeners yet, but yes it stiffened the ride quite a bit and I feel like the overall handling on street is better. Go check out my other video where I do a review. It'll probably answer any questions you have. Thanks for the comment
@@emptypocketsoffroad 👌 I'll have to check that out
By any chance do you know that gauge material the cage is made out of?
I don't sorry. Their customer service usually gets an email back to you same day if it's during business hours
Dude, U OBVIOUSLY did not test fit. When U test fit U mock up the whole thing. U would've found all these imperfections if..... U truly test fitted. Not ragging on ya. Just was kind of sick of U bitchin. At any rate. U did fine. & yes 2 people would hve helped tremendously. I appreciate the video. Keep ur jeep on brother. Michigan out.
We absolutely did test fit but did not put the bolts in.
@@emptypocketsoffroad okay, I understand that. Again bro.. keep ur jeep on!! Michigan out.
