Fastback Cage

[sohllis]

Does any manufacturer make a fastback design cage for the TJ? I've seen photos of some really neat ones but they all appear custom. Either that or I'm not looking hard enough.

I had my hard top ripped off after a tornado hit my town. How? I didn't have a back window at the time, driver/passenger windows were closed. All the air pressure that came in through the rear had to exit so it took off my top and I found it in a couple pieces. Thankfully no one was hurt.

My current roll cage isn't outfitted for a fastback soft top and I'd like to run it with a roll cage that will work with a fastback soft top.

Here is a photo of my TJ.

I don’t know any roll cages but that soft top you sent is for an LJ

It’s hard to tell from the photos, but if you have the factory bars a Trektop works with that setup.

You would most likely just need to remove the rear side-to-side bar and supports that someone added to your factory cage.

In order for a trektop to work, you need something that is similar to a factory roll cage. The trektop NX uses the rear cage as support. If you used a "fastback cage", like the one poison spyder makes, the trektop won't work.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure that any manufacturer makes a cage that works with a Trektop NX. The Trektop NX relies on the stock roll cage dimensions to work. If you end up with an aftermarket cage, you will probably need to use an OEM style soft top as those rely on a separate frame to work, not the roll cage. Your best bet is probably calling manufacturers and asking if they know if a Trektop NX will work.
