Save money, just wear a helmet, pretty sure that would keep you alive in a full roll...?

The only other problem with building an internal cage is allowing enough room between the doors and the dash board for the tube to fit, the only way I can see is to trim the dash plastic to save compromising on tube size

I've seen internal cages where the tube goes through the dash. They had obviously just cut a hole in the dash for the cage.

I purchased mine second hand and got
It for a reasonable price.

I know that the door bars and cab cross bar are optional

Find a safety devices dealer and inquire.

I'm not sure if they make them anymore.

I'm probably going to slightly modify the doors (slam them closed) to make the 1.75" tube fit :lol:

Apparently it's a bit tight

Still on the hunt for one if anyone's selling or knows of anyone? Haven't really got the time to make my own at the moment?

I sold a full external roll cage a while back to a forum member. It took 3 of us to manhandle the bastard to his trailer. They ain't light and unless you intend to do some serious off roading where a roll seems probable I wouldn't bother. For sure it looks good but is it for pose value or are you actually doing some 'black runs' as it were?
If it ticks over...leave it
