"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

[@FlawedOffroad]

There’s a bird that chases my daughters cat around and never shuts up😂

[@bojeelll9192]

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

[@FlawedOffroad]

Thanks!

[@MalarkeyTaylor]

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!

[@FlawedOffroad]

There’s some companies that sell pre bent tubes for xjs as well, diy kits.

[@NickSlingerland-yd8hy]

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

[@Dieselfumes1982]

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

[@FlawedOffroad]

Haha when i get asked something enough times I usually make a video!

[@jake-hy2zb]

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.

[@geo_cash]

Sick yj man. I also have a 91. Gonna go watch your other videos

[@xisleprez]

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!

[@FlawedOffroad]

Sounds like a fun trip, good luck!

[@josephraker9835]

Roll cage looks very good I got a 90 yj planning on roll cage too you gave me some cool idea

[@FlawedOffroad]

Good luck with it!

[@MountZionOffroad]

Great video Dan!

[@FlawedOffroad]

Thanks!

[@jes6628]

No idea about this stuff really but the video was so good I subscribed

[@tvstar650]

Keep it up love the vids

[@FlawedOffroad]

Thanks!

[@silver_cd]

Found you through another YJ guy. I like you better so I subscribed to your channel. I like your content keep it up

[@FlawedOffroad]

Thanks! Curious to hear from who

[@jeepdoctv]

I need to do something like this on my scrambler build!!

[@FlawedOffroad]

I’m sure you could adapt that kit

[@HAYL0W]

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

[@FlawedOffroad]

It’s a worthwhile upgrade that should be done before most of the mods ppl do that’s for sure! Hope it helped

[@HAYL0W]

@@FlawedOffroad yeah. it did, sucks the price went up that much on the kit you got but its not surprising,

[@FlawedOffroad]

@@HAYL0W it went up a long time ago. It’s because steel prices

[@coryhalling1614]

Great video. I have a 99 and 05 tj I'd like to upgrade my cages in

[@FlawedOffroad]

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

[@Burke_Motorsports]

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.

[@FlawedOffroad]

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

[@andycocchia4202]

Similar to my Poison Spyder cage.

[@FlawedOffroad]

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)

[@hardhatdiverscorp.2878]

What you paint it with ? Rattle can or the real stuff 2k …epoxy…etc ? What color ? Thanks

[@FlawedOffroad]

Rustoleum orange lol. I did it like 8 years ago it’s still holding up pretty well

[@rjewing850]

Did or have you found the straight bar across the back to be a head knocker for the rear seat passengers?

[@FlawedOffroad]

Not that Ive noticed but I only have kids back there. They are getting taller I should check the clearance

[@edrefeen4006]

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

[@exalteduser]

sadly I sold my parts jeep, I would try online

[@FlawedOffroad]

Look at eBay, I’m not sure if anyone sells replacements.

[@ehask06]

Ever run full doors? How about the ebrake, did you move it?

[@FlawedOffroad]

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)

[@ehask06]

Thanks, I forgot yours is an automatic. Thoughts on the Genright Stanchions?

[@ninja63639]

Can you still access the e brake pedal or did you have to modify it or what?

[@FlawedOffroad]

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

[@ninja63639]

@@FlawedOffroad thanks for getting back to me man. I've always wondered about it
