Just sizing up my roll cage :)

Post by dazerede » Sat Feb 08, 2014 6:05 pm

Bought a roll cage with a anus a few weeks back and I have just had time to stick it on the rear needs to go down about 3 inches as it it touching the gutter thing near the roof

I need to extend the rollcage I will get some tube to put in side of it and weld It and then I will bolt it on

Ye I'm pleased with the bumper

I will fit the rollcage at some point got to get some more metal and then make the rest e.g to the front and rear bumper


They are defender wipers and i have only just fitted them as I fitted 1 and I decided to do the cage and then forgot about it when I popped on town and noticed only 1 is fitted well I do get distracted easy lol

What are you going to do about the fact the cage doesn't meet your rocksliders? Looks like you'll also need to raise the crossmember in front of the screen higher?

I reckon you need to lift the fron of the cage a little bit, and bend the rear out a little to drop it down, weld some extensions on the bottom, but make sure you sleeve the weld to make it stronger. looks good though mate
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out
