Title: Roll Bar for TJ
Post by: Impact on May 29, 2008, 06:26:44 PM

Hi,

Does anybody have experience with using a bolt on roll for a TJ?
No too sure of the company name but it leaves the rear end of the old TJ roll bar and then the front part is all new.
it also includes 3 bars to re-enforce the rear old part of the TJ roll bar.

I might be wrong but that sounds like the" Rockhard 4x4 Sport cage".
They seem to be quite popular in the U.S.
 I would like to see some pics of how well they work but haven't seen any after accident photos.

The bolt on stuff will probably be fine for most wheeling.  Trouble is they are a single use item.  Roll once and they are done.  Contrast is the full custom cages like I build....roll hard....flip it back on it's wheels and wheel some more.

Multi roll ready........

Dude,

I have to tell you that I love your JEEP!!!!
Drooling... I have looked through your build up of it, very impressive!!
What were you using for lift when you had it on the 36's?
