I just finished this swap and it was a PITA, seems like the editors omitted a few things in the write.  All in all it well and the old adage stands correct, MEASURE TWICE CUT ONCE!!!!! The TJ cage was a little more involved than what it seemed like in the article, the alignment is very difficult to achieve, no matter how much I zoomed in on the pics I could not tell if the TJ cage opened all the way to acomodate the width of the YJ and it doesn't you have to leave a little space between the mounting base and the outermost  side of the tub and fill it with a spacer.  It works so much better than the YJ top that it makes all the swearing and the creation of a new olympic sport, tool launching worth i..  Heres a few pix hope you enjoy..
Before you ask, Yes it's a 91 renegade on an 03 rubicon frame and 8" skyjacker doubleflex kit and the motor is a 350 TPI backed with a 700r4 with a shift kit and corvette servo, 3" exhaust from headers back and passed emission standards here in Canada.  Leather seats from an 05 jimmy mated to YJ risers, TJ hood latches, tailgate hinges, and now TJ soft top, I called this project YTJ
