if you fancy a trip to Canberra (Hall, NSW, close enough
)
Rod Kilby at Lochleigh Enterprises can put a CAMS spec cage together for you to your custom specs.
Maddog's TJ enjoyed one
Jumbo's TJ enjoys one
Nolte's TJ (who, where ?!? oldskool retired comp Jeeper enjoys one)
My 97 TJ Goatsack enjoys one.
He slapped mine together in no time before 04 OBC (I love to give him a challenge) and served for a season of XWC and other team comps.
Not CAMs spec as thats not what I wanted. But after four flops it's still in good shape.
In brief :
Front legs bolt to firewall torx head mounts beside dash (not to floor as legality was suspect if going thru the dash to floor). In hindsight - I would have gone thru dash to floor for more strength after seeing Doggie and Jumbo's which look great rego be-damned !
Harness brace is an unboltable bar and integrates with the bolt-out 2 piece cargo barrier.
Didn't specify for it to integrate to soft/hard top (+ given the 3 week OBC time factor) so I had to bodge a mounting for my softtop. works ok. Kilby did this properly for Dog, Jumbo and Nolte and they look sweeeet.
He used the existing main hoop and welded it up (its made of 3 pieces in case u didn't know !!)
I never got pinged at OBC or XWC which were meant to only allow CAMS spec cages so it's strength is more than ample for my needs.
Kilby (aka The Barwork Magician) does many cages for rally, Targa, Paris Dakar cars around Australia as well as major contracts for govt and private clients and knows his shid.
He's a one man band though so timing (and a booking !) is important.
If u get carryed away and for very reasonable coin you can get a front bar, side steps, shock mount mods, pretty much anything weldable done too !

Alternatively another nice cage (Overkill fab) is in Mad Max Baerlocher's (aka Hublocker) OBC rig. Used to be the same as Coop's (Dorzun is the new daddy) TJ. And we all saw how well Dorzun's held up when Jeff the deestroyer walked away unscathed
Hope this braindump helps dude
