I didn't get the c pillars. Due to buying the EVO rear tire carrier, and it having the tall top loop. I have seen them in person though. I really believe that they are not needed. It's a short cage on the back, if you run this after market tire carrier, I don't see the back crushing down. Maybe if you still have your spare on the body, but still the center section is very strong on the jk.

Digging your jeep and the selections you've made, hoping mine looks similar soon! I agree with the posts above, EVO is the way to go! :thumb:
Started installing the cage. Got the front part done. Just need to trim some plastics and put on the rear bar.
All I'm going to say is this cage is not for the unskilled. I've installed several cages and this was the hardest. Some of the instructions were left out or vague. There is a butt load of work to do it right. Also. The cutting and wielding is not mirrored on both sides. I understand that there are lots of welds and connections and it's hard to make it perfect with out building it for the specific jk.
On a positive note I am 100% certain that this cage will take a multi roll over and still hold up.
Overall I'm very happy with the strength of the cage, and the look. They did a good job of bringing everything together. I would suggest this cage to someone looking for more than a standard bolt in and less than a full welded cage.

Thanks. It's what we do as a family. Was planning on having him built this year in order to apply for the jk experience. But he will be ready next year.

I'm from the midwest...we roll with Busch Light!
Are you installing this raw? What color are you thinking about painting it?
Have to install raw at first. In case you have to shave some parts of it. Taking the side and rear rock skins with the cage to get gloss blk to match the jeep. The stinger, front bumper, and sliders are getting rattle canned due to the continuous bashing they will receive.StrizzyChris said:

Was thinking blk cherry on the cage though. What do you think?
That's what I'll probably go with too. But since the jeep is blk was wondering if a diff color would look good.

Yeah, id do some color that u choose as a theme color. Are u going to stick to one or two accent colors throughout ur jeep? If so that black cherry would be sexy!
No real accent colors. It's all blk besides the silver wrangler sticker and gray interior.
