No kidding Mike!
I held off updating because I'd done a whole series of articles for a well known LR magazine who have decline to print the last 5 because the manufacturer of the frame stopped advertising with them!
I'll get busy reformatting for the forum but here's a photo or 2 from last year's Scotia

They're not actually roll bars but called tree or brush bars, the idea being they allow the car to slide more easily past trees. That is correct .... if you don't lean too heavily near the bottom or middle of the bar in which case they bend!
They are fitted externally to the roll cage almost as a gutter and protect the windscreen rather well.
On that subject, it the start of a new era in the Dover garage as I've sold UNB (but keeping winches, compressor and accessories) to pay for the Alldays engine rebuild but I should have enough left over for a nice wee 90 I hope
