do any parts of the "roll cage" attach to the chassis?
 
6 points..

gosh thats alot of bolt points...also that pipe work has a dent in it which in my book is a structural fail
i would of cut straight sections from chassis through body work without joins.

im sure its ok but i would of cut the body and put the cage in in one piece,who made the cage and fitted it because a bent mount like that is very bad...?....

It's straight. Just a bad picture. I'll try to get a better one on Monday.

Where'd you get the lights for 750 from?

Thanks,

I guess we'll find out more about what exactly you're up to here when that website comes on stream. Intriguing.

That's a very clean 110 you have there. I guess it won't be quite so spotless by the time you return - once a few rhinos and bull elephants have charged it :D

Good luck with the project - look forward to hearing more. :)

Hi Traveler

Great thread and wishing you all the luck on your adventure!

These are the wheels I think I want! Where did you get them please and do you know if they will fit on a 91 90 Defender!

I have drum brakes :-(

Thank you

Thank you.

I got the wheels from Nene Overland. I really can't say that I have any idea about how they'd fit on yours though
