hi everyone  ive got a request to see some exo-cages.im new to the wheelin seen but i want my rig to last.i live in washington the trees are tight and what rocks we do have can be brutal. my rig has the basics ,lift,locker,tires/have a winch but need some designs so i can cage it and mount the winch. i need ideas so if you have pics of your exo cages lets see them i would also like to see any pics of a full cage design on the interior i have a son who likes to come would only be fair to make him safe inside in the back. most cages out are only for the cab i have an 88 4runnerthank you for your help

thanks guys the link and your info was great and to rockscrambler ive seen a few exod cherokees there is one for sale on the snort4x4 web site.dont know how to do the link thing or i would im not to smart on the computer

Exo-caging a cherokee would be very difficult since it is a unibody and not a ladder frame design. To put a cage into a unibody you need to use torque boxes to connect the cage to the unibody. You could also make a parimeter frame to connect to the unibody (via torque boxes) and connect your exo-cage to that. That takes a lot of measuring though and tearing everything off your jeep.

I would not mind a lite exo cage around my truck, but i have not seen many I like.
 It has to be tight and simple for it to look good in my book. $.02

thanx b ripper I'll look into that . I also heard or read a story before i bought my Cherokee about a sub-frame . kinda like bolting a tube frame to the suspension mounts then suspension to that but can't find it again don't remember where i read it.

[whiteman]

That could be done but it would be a lot of tube bending and work.  Would definatley be cool though.
