1957 Custom CJ6 on eBay

August 25, 2004 in Other CJ6s

Another CJ6 on eBay (thanks to Tim Harris for the heads up).  This one is quite customized - all the stock Jeep drivetrain has been replaced from motor to axles.  It’s also presents a different rollcage design than I’ve seen on a CJ6.  To my eye it has too much space between first and second hoops and the sloped second hoop looks wrong.  I’m also convinced the rear bars need to go as close to the rear of the body as possible. 

The shape of the rear bars may work for SSDutch though, since the Besttop has a slope in that spot to deal with.  But I’d add a third side to side bar.  More pictures…

    That’s a late model YJ main hoop that the cage is built off of.

    It is a very common way to build a family style cage for CJ7s and Early wranglers. 

    I just built one for a friend with a CJ7- a bar is usually added between the two rear downbars to add support.

    IMO, the bar is too short to put the main hoop near the driver’s head, which is why it was moved forward. Unfortunately, the front speaders are very long, and don’t add much support to the front hoop in a CJ6 application.

    I’m pretty sure a ‘6 cage would have to be fully custum made.
