wow. and no seatbelt either? He's a lucky guy.

The XJ took a 50 mph roll pretty well though. Shame, as it looks like it was nice.

Yow! Sounds like he took a beating, but any wreck you can walk away from...

Ya know, those simple B pillar hoops look better and better...

Thats what I have been looking into. My main candidate right now is the D&C Cage like SeanR's junk has. I will have it installed with unibody tie-ins as well.

Cheese "going to pick up seanR's cage in a few weeks" Man

yeah, I thikn a cage is geting moved up on the list of MJ things to do.

At least mine will be small!

Wow...that sucks. Glad he lived!

 

[rkates]

Real good guy too. I've dealt with him a few times getting material for a couple projects

however, look at the b-pilar's in these pics, they're still upright. factory jeeps are extremely strong, I rolled 1 1/2 times with no cage and my b's stood right up as well.

not saying that cages aren't worth their weight in gold, just saying if this 50 mph roll didn't crush the b's (where your head is) than most off road rolls w/o cages will be okay.

It is the A pillars that need the help.
MY first rolled XJ, was on the highway, well, that is where it started, crushed them right down almost to the dash, the b pillars were fine.
The second one, same results.

Yeah, especially after reading the description I'd say the jeep did great.

glad to here that the driver is ok

that looks like a nasty spill

You've rolled 2 XJs on the highway?

 

[FlexdXJ]

I am guessing one on the highway and I know one on the trail.

He likes to practice.

Looks to me that if the sunroof had not been cut into it he might not have suffered the cuts on his head.
