the cage looks nice but it wont hold up to well i dont think... to "smooth" looking... see the back the 4 bolts bolting it to the bumper and how its bent in... it being bent in like that will fold in a roll over... it would keep them alive probly but would only last one roll...

Still, why not just build a full exo? Why build a full internal with bolt on exo-pieces? Seems like a lot of useless work...no, nevermind...That is a lot of useless work.

Yeah the car takes a beating, but you don't get touched. I've heard of almost every XJ roll over being almost the exact same story.

I was looking at some chopped XJ's a while back on google images and I think I saw a build page for this, it might have been one very similar. This has to be one of the best one's to date and has been posted many times in various threads. I also remember in one thread that someone on here said they knew this guy, or the person that built this.
Just found this http://www.csloffroad.com/semazj2008.aspx
There is one similar to this at the bottom of the page and it says its from a kit, it looks like the only difference is the wheel's.
