Does anyone have an exploded view or pics for removing a JKU roll cage

I am trying to figure out how each piece of the JKU roll cage unbolts. I don't have one yet to look at. Does anyone have an exploded view or pictures?


Thanks

:sombrero: It's not really a cage and it's not bolted-it's welded !

This is as close as I can get

While we're talking about the JK roll cage, does it bother anyone else how much it gets in the way in the back?

I'm wondering if anyone has ever thought of modifying the "back" parts that slope down towards the tailgate area.
See my terrible "paint" pic below.

I'd like to remove the "sloping" sections, and continue the roll cage back at the full height of the hard top.
At the very back (essentially touching the back window), the two bars can go down at 90deg. to the very back corners. (like the red line)

The horizonal bar between the two top "corners" can be right back against the "corner" of the hard top.

Thoughts ?

I am sure it has something to do with keep the looks of the wrangler. I am no smart guy but something about a 90 degree seems weaker than the bend when it comes to load bearing (rolling your jeep)? Maybe I read it somewhere.

true, a slope is a bit stronger in the configuration. a 90 degree need extra gusseting. ive rolled both types of YJ. cj and YJ-TJ style roll bar. my 91 held up awesome!
