Deefer Scrub/Spotlight Bar styley thingy that goes around the windscreen

[sideshowbob]

Hey guys,

Catchy thread title don't you think? Yeah, I am poo at describing this (really?) so please bear <growl> with me....;)

I am looking for the official title and a possible supplier of the roll bar-ey bar that bolts around the windscreen with horizontal bars above and below the windscreen and you bolt spots to the top bar. They look to be secured through the body just in front of the screen on the top of the front quarter panels.
I know that's a mouthful but I've no freakin' idea what it's called and three Landy stores have no idea what I'm talking about (No names will be given to protect the identity and possible, though doubtful, innocence!!)
You see them on Mongo styley Deefers with big wheels etc.
I've searched the internet (my god there is so much poo out there!!) and have searched the forums so apologies if this has been covered.
Anyhoo, I hope someone out there knows what the hell I am dribbling on aboot and can put me out of my misery.... and yours!

Thanks all,

Sideshow Bob

I think you are talking about an external roll cage.

Something like this?

Landrover Tuning :: Front External Rear Internal Safety Devices Roll Cage, Bolt In, Defender 110 " Camel Trophy " with NAS front underwing mounts, 5 Door - Protection Defender - Defender - Default Store View (http://www.landrovertuning.com.au/shop/default/defender/protection/front-external-rear-internal-safety-devices-roll-cage-bolt-in-defender-110-camel-trophy-with-nas-front-underwing-mounts-5-door.html)

Spanks Bilbo!! ;)

Thank you both for your replies, that is what I am looking for. To be honest I didn't know it was a full cage. I thought (and I'm basing this off the few photos I've seen) that it only went over the windscreen area. But it's actually much, much better!!!

Cheers guys,

Hi,

well, if you want to get it self made you might be interested in these link's

I know that you dont understand Hebrew, so you can see the Pic's, but more than thet you can easly translate it to English ("google translate" full web pages' just google it :D) :

' - 110 (http://www.jeepolog.com/228.html)


I know that the words dont allways traslate with the same meening, but than the Pic's will help.

this one is onther roll cage, but one that you can easly take out, the feb work in this one is one of my favorits. (see the coil over work, It's a monster!!):
, 110 CoilOver Fox 109 - ' 4X4 '

if you need any help PM me or ask me I can allways ask Erez (overland workshop owner in Israel for help, If he has time for me).

BTY,

you might find throgh google translate thet our forum Is a very good one, we do try to help each other, and we have alot of answers to tons of Q.

that is the first one after translation by google

[sideshowbob]

Hey Whisky!!

Whoa... Nice welding, mad finish... I do like!!

And that Fox coil over..... :o You'd see that from space because, well, the roof would be 10 ft below you from the viewing window on the ISS.
:p:p:p:p:p

Thanks for your replies fella, very helpful. I'll be in contact,

Cheers geez,

[whisky]

well this is the seconde one

Google (http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=iw&js=y&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jeepolog.com%2Fforums%2Fshowthr ead.php%3Ft%3D26371&sl=iw&tl=en&history_state0)=

now look, or listen: I know that some words get F in the google translation (if u understand hebrew it's quit funy reading the translation) so here are some key words that i noticed:

"hbolm", "shbolmim" or the similar word's usaly meen: "shock observer"
"givving birth" (the funiest yet) or similar: "chassis"
"irtoch", "ritoch" or similer: welding

hope the Pic's fill most of the gaps.

enjoy,

Whisky

Lost in translation....

Giving Birth, that's gold right there!!

Thanks again Whisky, I have an engineer friend who has agreed to have a look at whether he can build one and still give it all the bells and whistles that the for sale ones have. As in strength in the right places etc etc.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated

Hey Side Show,

Check out E-Bay there is a version of this full external cage available. (Item No 110294993124)

Seems to be more comprehensive than the one shown here, it has a roof rack built in.

The schematics and pictures are pretty good if your mate wanted to copy it.

Cheers

Is there really 5 grand worth of tubing, bending and welding in that?! I must admit, intellectual property also costs some money, but I just don't see how these cages could be so expensive.

[sideshowbob]

Thanks guys,

All good information!!

I agree that it can't be worth as much as they want for it. I am sending the drawings to my engineer mate and we'll see how it goes.

Thanks again y'all... I'll keep you posted if the project gets off the ground!!

Cheers,

Sideshow
