That's an awesome looking build.
What's the steering setup and how did you make the beadlocks?
You happy enough with the Volvo drums or will you put discs on?
More pics please!

Thank you to all
Not much done since ,it's a cage i did for friend
Drums seem to be ok but he is thinking about discs
Bead locks are home made,standard 8's with standard weld on inner ring then lip cut from 2 more wheels and a smaller outer ring welded inside cut lip
Will post more when i get a chance

nice tube work Cool

, good to see different cage on landy other than normal kits, not sure on the tube bumper bit but that only my opinion

Thanks,yeah front was a struggle,i'd have run the first tube's differently and knock on from that was what you see so will blame owner on that Very Happy

still would have done tube just a little different

Very cool track, no doubt, but boy was that poorly filmed! Sun in the lens most of the time, and when you dropped in the camera was all over the place!
Well anyway don't hope the Rovolver took to much damage, a really nicely build truck, where was the oil coming from in the last bit of the movie? From the axletube?

Thanks S,sorry about the poor quality but were offroaders not film makers-i will make sure the cameraman waits for darkness next time though Laughing

(If you knew the driver you'd run to)
Yes oil from tube,no problem-was just a little side pressure from smashed CV
