Hi everyone, I am planning a big lap and I am thinking about some simple roll-over protection around Brisbane. Does anybody has any suggestions? Or know a small business that might be able to help out?

To be honest mate I would bother.
The work required to but one in is bugga all and the patrols handle roll overs quite well.
Evils mate had a double roll over a few weeks back, was damaged, but drivable..
I'll find some pics
I think that GU was bloody Lucky! I have seen the A pillar crushed down.
If your keen the. I would keep a lookout for a ROPS out of a mine spec GU mate. You will pick it up for under $500 and it will bolts straight in. Should be plenty about in QLD?

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

cheers, I have a search out at gumtree and ebay but so far only found one for only the cargo area or landcruiser 100 which I dont think will fit. But i am not in a rush so will wait patiently. Havent found out how it would fit half way (so between the doors) and how easy it is to fit, any knowledge on this?
Id say the roof rack played a big part of holding the Patrol together,
but a lot of "ifs"
You could give Brown Davis a buzz and talk to Kevin about their ROPS
Good point on the roof rack. I have heard of Brown Davis stuff before. Point is that I will have my car for the big lap only so I am looking for a cheap solution. Obviously, safety is priceless but with all the other involved costs, a high end product as from Brown Davis is a bit out of reach.
