    they also make a decent bash plate.
    Not entirely convinced a ROPS would be required for a lap.
    only you can decide on that, I had an internal roll cage in my Troopy[TJM]

    Agree with the others.



    I looked into a cage after mine had a "sleep" (pics below), all the ROPS roll bars I could find at the time, severely restricted cargo space due to the rear brace bars, and they have a dodgy cargo barrier that does not cover the space you need to protect you from flying cargo, I soon gave up on the idea.


    Having said that, the cost of getting a decent cage "made" to suit a family sedan (with compliance), would be heaps more than $500, its much harder than making one for a bush basher.

    What is your budget? I have a 6 point cage/rops in mine, and have been thinking of pulling it out. The right $$$ would help me make the decision

    n.b. like new condition, installed but never used for its intended purpose lol... almost did once... but my girlish squeal of terror must have flipped me back to a safer angle

    I saw two rops for around 200 at gumtree (just in the wrong state) so figured something like that as budget but didnt take into account that installation might be expensive as well.
