DIY class 7 production 4x4 tips and tech

[patroltb42]

A couple months ago i decided i needed another Patrol to play in, so off i went and found a patrol in that had the engine and interior removed, on further inspection i noticed the cab was not the right one for the chassis, the previous owner rolled his 1997 ti tb42e patrol end decided to buy anouther car and do a cab swap and all got too hard. so i have this 1993 maverick cab on a 1997 ti chassis. Best thing for it is built a class 7 production 4x4! This is an ongoing project any questions and advise is always welcome. pics to follow.

couple pics of cage going in, all welded and notched in my shed using angle grinder and mig welder. The cage was purchased from Bond Roll Bars all pre bent, had to be cut to size, notched and welded in so i took on the challenge and found it quite is easy with and extra pair of hands to hold while i welded bits in.
