Hi guys I've been mainly watching you crazy Aussie loons on youtube Extreme Winch Challenge trucks :devilred:
I like very much, so will be starting down that road and need some info on roll cages they use. Any thoughts on internal or external? I prefer the subtle look of internal myself and as you may have seen I'm not too precious about panel damage and T-cut ;)
Are there any sites where I can get some more info or plans etc to start building ?
Cheers wannabe loon :gday::1087:

Less bar work for the internal and they are available in flat pack as such which you can buy then weld into place. You can mount harnesses etc to an internal to hold you in your seat when offroading and they are done more regularly. An external will obviously protect your panels but only to an extent and will require a lot more steel which in turn equals more weight and weight up high isnt good for stability. There is another forum im on which has a link for the "flat pack" cages ill jump on and grab the link for you.
