Try Poison Spyder. I have the Trail Cage and it is a good setup. Here is the link to the Trail Cages.

I have Poison Spiders Customes full cage.
Some don't like their 'non thru the dash design', but I don't see any issues. There are a couple pictures and talks of PSC's poor design out on the web. In the end PSC 's cage 'failures' have come as a result of inproper installs (windshields down, not fully welded, not using the gussetts), not their set up. Be sure to have a person weld it in that knows what their doing --- understands cages and is cert welder.
Mike at App Offroad in Westminster MD, And Zach of A to Z Fab in (someplace) PA make good products.
Be ready to pay $1200-1500 for a decent cage. Decide what you want before the buying begins. Save up and do it right the first time. Although my current cage is not attached to the frame, nor are my seats tied in...these are things I can do later, in steps ...and still feel safe in.

I just got the bolt on cage from Rockhard4x4 with the floor mounts and frame tie-in kit. Took two days to install and seems to work really well, how well? Hope I never find out.

I have a similar one miljeep that has been tested and proven "safe". Clair Kauffman (Club Treasurer) can testify to that. All he got were the "aftermath" photos though, no video. I started it up and drove to the staging area. I rank that as being SAFE.
