But you'll get the idea! Now...some people take rocksliders & exhausts off roading! Not me........introducing the 'Rockaust' Laughing





The 'Rockaust' & roll cage in perfect harmony! Wink



Rollcage taking shape.....







& plenty left to do here as well....but the front bumper & winch mount is coming together!



More to follow! Razz

are you going to put a guard over the slider as that will get realy hot and you dont want to burn your legs on it when you get out

Initial indications are....not at all! However, that said.....it's first proper day out should let us know for sure! Shocked

Thats ok then ,so long as we dont get upset Laughing
So my comments so far=The middle hoop mounting point would be very weak as is especially on the exhaust side,ends of sliders should return to chassis a little at least at front so you dont get hooked up(i guess you'll have wider wheels etc eventually but still a problem IMO)
those mounting plates might get caught up ....the rear could have been turned 90deg and mounted directly to rear bumper,try sanding that former to stop kinking and turn pipe so weld is to the side(but your not finished i know)all My opinion of course Roofus (oh and why so far from body??)

Ha! No-one will get upset here! Very Happy
You lost me a bit with the rear 90 degrees malarky! Confused
But I hear what you say about the front of the rocksliders! Smile
As for strength......I don't know metal......but Sean does! If Sean says it'll be strong enough......it'll be strong enough! Laughing

Put plate on end or rear bump and return rear hoop
Strong enough for what is the question then Cool if you land on your roof as is that will bend-but you've a long way to go before it hits cab so i guess so what if it does Laughing cant see prob with exhaust apart from noise,down pipe breaking off every so often and maby vibration(those 2LT's be ok run through 3/4" and still not loose power Laughing Laughing )

Anyway more pics please Roofus

I was looking at the space between the roof and the body hoops, can't tell if the front cross bar is the same height, but it looks like the distance to allow space for a body lift to be fitted, we'll let rigid fill us in I suppose..... Laughing

Congrats to you Roofus...in keeping with the unique theme all the way to the end...and lets hope you never roll it
Take a look at this idiot

A pillar almost always takes the strain,even without rolling you can do severe damage

Lj71 Suspension Help Needed
Just bought an LJ71, 87 model, with 2.4l engine, coil springs all around.

I would like to go for an ARB suspension set up for both front and the back, and as such would much appreciate if someone can help me out with the part numbers. Also pls advise a good on line resource for parts as i am a frequent visitor to the US and can hand carry the parts back.

Sorry Holcomb can't help!

I've got the Ironman suspension & TBH didn't even know ARB did suspension for the LJ71! Confused

Good luck with your search though!
