Thread: SD Roll Cage

We have looked into the Compliance of cages, and even spoken to the Dept of Transport, who say there perfectly legal.

As for having issues in the event of a accident if you had a cage fitted, the cage is going to save your life, so whats Important to you.

As said in the post before, we have people on here and not on here, who will make there own , bull bars, side steps, roof racks, and even roll cages that are not tested, manufactured, or even approved be it here or some other part of the world, you would be safer buying a SD cage knowing its FIA and PAAA approved.

For those of you who are Interested in a cage, please PM me or email me, for prices, theres so many options.

Are there installers in other states around the country? Is the cage designed as a DIY install?

Grizzly Adams on this forum (have not see him for a while) has a cage fitted to his 110 and all approved via QLD Transport from memory.

I am tempted and do like the look of the 130 cages..

Cage is a DIY install, or you could pay your local 4wd store to fit it for you...

yes...I have even downloaded the instruction sheet from website.

So if that is coming from the horses mouth, where is the opinion coming from that they arent legal? There seems to be a bit of conflicting informstion when it comes to this topic. I'm confused.

My advice is speak to your certifier prior to buying and or installing to ensure there is a clear understanding of what is required........

I can only speak from my experience and in NSW. Some people dont care and will just go ahead and do it, which is fine. I needed insurance and proper registration plates for my cage, otherwise I couldn't insure the car, only way I could do that was to guarantee the cage met all requirements. If I bought the SD cage and it wasn't within the tolerances then he wouldnt approve the papers for my registration. If I had a second hand Defender and didnt feel I needed to insure it, I would have just gone and bought a cage through Juddy, it's simple and the R&D has already been done by SD.

Cheers
