cage and harness

  • We'll it looks like i might be getting a christmas bonus and though that i might add to the saftey of my TJ. I know there are alot of companies out there that do cages but wanted to see what you guys would recommend. I can weld so thats not that big of a deal. Also what about harnesses? I was think of adding these also but not sure on what company to deal with. If i do harnesses do i have to switch the seats out also? TIA -- Jason

  • HollyOak 4x4, AtoZ, or DaMutt's Garage. They can do awesome work, customize it to the way you want, and I'm sure it will be done for a reasonable price.

  • i was thinking about doing it myself so it would help cut down on the cost but i'll have to give them a call


    i like my cage and all.....its OK, but I would have done differently....


    I have PSC.....I just don't think the dash bars are very functional.

  • a to z, poison spyder, and tennessee off-road are the only companies that I know of that offer a pre-bent weld in cage. The A to Z cage is far superior in fit and function....

  • hey josh what do you dislike about your cage ???


    That the side dash bars are not really funational...they sit on top of the dash. If i was gonna do it I would have gone through the dash straight to the floor.


    There's a lot to learn about cages, tons of talk different places. Search on the ROF and there's tons, same with JU, JF...etcetc. I wish I had done it a little more before I purchased.


    I'm just not a huge fan of the Posion Spyder. I wish I had done differently. and I really can't just take it off and put a new one on....I could sell this one and get a stock cage.


    I have a trail cage --- there's a difference between the trail cage and a full cage. Trail is just the front half.

  • I have Poison Spyders in mine but if I were to do it again, I go with Zach's weld-in cage. I like the design much better.


    As for the harness, you could always have Zach bend up a harness bar and weld it behind your front seats. You could still use your stock seats with a 4-point harness.

  • I have the same A to Z cage that Turtle has and I love it. It is very functional and the fit was VERY good. Zach is also great to deal with.

  • i have the a to z one i think it was one of his first add ons it looks like he changed the setup some and it look alot stronger. i would def go with his cage cause like josh said it goes through the dash and is much stronger.

  • Another vote for Zach at A to Z. He sponsors me and built my cage for the Comp rig. It survived several barrel rolls and flops this year. He can build a custom cage to your specs ar sell you his standard design. I would dump the factor TJ bar, it is modular and weak.


    As far as the seat belts go I would stick with the factory ones. It you do get new seats the 4 points are safer, but they are a big PITA for trail riding. You will only use the lap belt, (now they become less safe) because of the restrictive movement of the harness. At least that's my expeirience.

  • Brian at Holly Oak did my cage. It was his first TJ, so now he knows what to do differently :laughing:. But I still like it. If you want to weld it yourself, I'd endorse Zack's (A to Z) as well, that's a great design.
