Basically, I'm thinking i want a 6 point cage. At this point in time I'm not competing in any events but i hope to in the coming year. As well as this I'm thinking safety, lets face it, a stock soft top zook isn't something you would want to roll.

Secondly, in terms of design, I'm thinking something like this:



I like the design of this bar, mainly because it leave room open in the back for gear, is simple, and looks effective. Another point, raised by gwagensteve in another roll cage thread, is that internal cages can cause issues in an accident when you hit your head on the bar running up the inside of the b-pillar. That bar on this cage is behind the b-pillar.

So with this cage in mind, would it hold up to a roll over? I guess using the hypothetical of a roll over on a trail in the bush? Worst case scenario a car accident?

Moving away from this there are the alternative, those being should i avoid a roll-cage and just have an exo instead?

Any help you guys can provide me with would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, 5ierra.

its almost an exo-cage... which would be far easier to build and maintain interior space, all you need is a ladder on it somewhere so you can justify having it (legally) by calling it a 'roof rack'.

If, you go exo, don't stress about this. Can be plated as an exo if built right. Wayne's LJ50 is approved now

Easy fix

The main section i was worried about was the rear but hey, i'm not going to argue

The rear stays aren't ideal, but like you said the other day; you're not going to have rear seat passengers, so if the rear section of the cage deforms during a heavy roll, then it won't matter so much.

They would hold up to a light roll over wouldnt they though?
