Yank I'm pretty sure mine has a jeep cage in it, there are some not so great pics of it in my gallery, you can check out. I need to take some pics other than the ones from the ad when I bought it and get them loaded up anyways so I'll do that tomorrow and get em up. I've stipped off the padding and sanded it down, primed and spray canned it off white, it's had some modifications done to it some extra steel added here and there at the bottom and the back was extended, but it's a pretty good fit and would most certainly keep my head off the ground if I went over.

stock as stock can be. no lift. the front cage is in the works. debating on jeep style mount to widow or full style into frame. limited offroad use so not much fear of an actual roll over, however i would like it to be functional.

Keep in mind that jeep style frame still goes to the floor, just transitions from tube to plate. Ending at the windshield is not a good idea. Sure its better than nothing but you really should finish it off right, for safety.

I was also under the impression that the EB body flexes too much to attach a cage to the windshield Jeep style? The cage has to flex independently of the body & windshield.

I took some 1"x 2" square tubing and made a brace from the rollbar to the windshield (to help stiffen up the windshield and make it seal against the upper door frame), and no problems here. I got the idea from a buddy who did the same, no problems for him either. I do hear a little squeaking from it under hard flex, but nothing major. It also gave me a place to mount some grab handles if I ever get them. I plan on somday building a front drop bar to the floor and tieing it into the bars, and a cross bar to tie them together.
