I am seriously considering a full cage for my CJ8 from Essentially Off
Road (www.essentiallyoffroad.com). They want $400 plus shipping for a
half cab cage which will allow the scrambler half hard top to still
fit on the vehicle.

Before I order, thought I would check here and see if there were any
bad experiences dealing with this company, or other companies/products
which you might recommend instead.

I have a 99 TJ and installed one of the cages from MORE. They all also
sold by most of the Jeep parts stores. They make models for all jeeps.
The installation was very easy, everything fit as promised . I also got
two of the cross bars that run from the front bar to the factory bars to
tie everything together and add more strength. I installed a steel
plate between the two overhead bars which is a control panel with toggle
switches, and pilot lights for each switch. There is also a push type
switch for the starter. This panel controls all electrical equipmment in
the jeep except for the heating and a/c. The ignition lock and key is
no longer used. I have switches for ignition, starter, wipers,
headlights, parking lights and taillights, foglights, a power switch
for my 2 meter radio, and a wig-wam switch for the taillights. I also
have 3 open switches with pilots that have power coming directly from
the battery to be later if needed. I have it wired where a combination
of 3 switches must be thrown to start the TJ. I also installed one of
the Jazz racing style bucket seats that has slots for a 5 point harness.
I use a 5 point Simpson bolted thru the floor .
