Pipe is for poop!

1.75 x 0.120 DOM is a popular size.

I have 2.0 x 0.120 and 1.625 x 0.120 in mine.

Also, saw this cage option today.

picked up my stuff from Defelice tonight, i'll post some pics when I find the camera.
He still has some J-bars left over that he would like to unload, these are bolt on protection for the rear half of the Jeep. They are made for TJ but can be modified to work on a YJ as well.
YJpep has some on his jeep they seem to work really well, I bought a set for mine at a discounted price after the cage works. He said he still has a few left and will sell them for $300
you can't beat his quality and he is local!!!

j-bars would make a nice stocking stuffer for anybody worried about damaging their tub on the trail.

Where's the pics of the cage?

What did you and Defelice come up with?

here are acouple pics of the tube for my cage, it's kinda hard to see in the pics but the two main bars come straight up from the frame brackets through the dash. They come straight back and angle up then continue to angle up but angle in towards the middle, by bringing them in on the rollbar it allows them to go up further on the rollbar, giving more head room.
Then the dash bar and an upper bar to tie the hoops together which should mount just out of the way of the softtop hardware, and then the two bars going from the top spreader bar back to the main rollbar that bend out at the end. and one of my J-bars there at the top
