Can you put a YJ roll bar on a TJ?

Question

I have a YJ roll-cage and was wondering if I could replace my TJ roll-cage... it is bent from flipping it. I would like to do the application myself but if needed will go to a professional. Any advice?

Answer 1

It will not bolt right in, but with a drill, you can make it fit.

I would recommend a roll cage rather than a stock roll bar, specially since you already rolled it once (good times....rolled 3 different vehicles so far).

Look on line for people who fabricate them or Smitty Built sells weld together cages.

Answer 2

Jeep Yj Roll Cage

Answer 3

Nope, they are not interchangeable. You can probably do it with modifications, but it would just be easier to get an aftermarket rollcage, plus the aftermarket ones are built much stronger than the OEM ones.



I have an aftermarket rollcage and I love mine!!



This pic shows mine pretty good:

If you look at the front you can see the bar going all the way across the front of the Jeep, there also is one that runs across the top of the dash and the side pieces bend down and are bolted to the floor.



It is also cool because I can put my windshield down and don't have the side bars just sticking out.
