I would think for kids in the rear, a cage is absolutely necessary. And there is no risk of smacking their head. I posted this just hoping for a couple guys that had done it and I just missed it. TONS of 1st and 2nd gen guys have internal cages and nobody seems to regret it and I don't see them wearing Helmets.
This is not my DD so ease of getting in and out isn't an issue. It will be driven on the road though. If it's a DD than it's probably not much of a serious offroader and more of a casual crawler or "overlander" build so I can see a cage not being necessary. Obviously I'm not going as hardcore as the Koh guys but maybe somewhere slightly headed in that direction so I will be doing a cage, just not as hardcore as those.
There is a in between of "rolling off black bear pass" and a light roll and that's where I want my cage build to land.

Thanks for those constructive suggestions guys. I don't think I'm going that gnarly on a cage but I'll take a look and see if they have some good pics on how they did it. I really only need to see the dash area. The rest of the cage is easy.
