I'm interested in knowing my options (and estimated costs). A lot of racks seem quite pricey and put me off. In the end, I'd like to find a solution that protects my hard top, any future soft top that I might buy, and could be used in the cold temps too. I don't mind unattractive, low cost practical solutions that can be installed temporarily if you can think on any options.

Had a buddy burn the Jeep into the center piece and then bent it. Spent a few hours with scissors, cardboard and duct tape mocking it up. Wish i would have taken some in progress pics...

I've been lurking on this site for a long time, and finally have something to contribute.

Thanks to everyone for offering useful advice on keeping our rigs running and looking good.

Here's our story on our "different" Jeep and how it got to be the way it is today.

When I met my fiance, she had a 97 TJ sitting next to the garage with a bad transmission. Being a previous Jeep owner, it was nice to see a Jeep, but to have it rotting away and not be used during these Wisconsin winters was a bummer.

In late 2008 my fiance had the transmission rebuilt and it was road ready. We had a mechanically solid TJ with a sad looking body.

It was time to "freshen" things up a bit. What started as some simple body work and a paint job and some minor modifications snowballed into something never done to a Jeep. Needless to say, the results were better than ever expected, and we have a roadworthy Jeep that definitely turns heads. ]]> Builders Corner Jeepasaurus http://www.wranglerforum.com/f118/something-different-58756.html CAD Model http://www.wranglerforum.com/f118/cad-model-58466.html Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:25:00 GMT I would like to fab my own roll cage and was wondering if anyone out there had a solid model/CAD model for a pre-2006 LJ or a cage model they used for an LJ?
