Our final delight was the rollcage from a previous CJ-7 project. It had served shelf duty while in storage, but this was the time to use it. It was straight enough that when installed, it actually helped to straighten out the mangled skin of the Salvage 7. The old cage is from a '76, so the rear bar only goes to the wheelwells, just like this '78. On a '79 the bar goes to the floor and the wheelwells, which is stronger but doesn't bolt in. All we had to do was drill the holes for the front-cage foot pads and bolt it in.
