Evening all!
As some of you may know, I recently had some fabrication work carried out by Rob and Andy at Off-Road Armoury! Thought I'd just say what a great experience I had with them.
The cage is 6 point external, with an internal cross brace just behind the seats. Rob and Andy also fabbed up a rear winch bumper for me.
Would highly recommend them!

what's under those two frontmost mounts? they put a brace down to the chassis or is it just bolted to the body?
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

That is one nice looking motor,do you plan on adding a front winch as well or just keeping it with the rear one ??? out of interest why did you go for the rear option rather than a front mounted winch like most folks use ???

Cheers for the comments chaps! Very happy with the way it turned out.

I'll be sticking with just the rear winch for now matey, like to keep it simple! There was no real logic as to why I went for a rear winch over a front. I wanted to add a rear bumper that could withstand a few nudges, and it would also be needed for the cage mount, it was a good opportunity to add a winch. I guess a bit of weight over the rear axle isn't a bad thing either.
Few more pics. The internal cross brace is bolted through the floor to the chassis, and through the roof to the centre loop.

Hey matey,
Main tubes are 1 3/4", the cross braces on the roof and internal tubes are 1 1/2" I believe.
Have you decided what sort of size you'll be using on your buggy build?

That's very nice work! Liking the internal cross brace, should make the whole thing much, much stronger!
