Thread: perentie roof cage

While on the subject of military tag-tops, many years ago I picked up, at a garage sale for $50, if I recall correctly, a khaki lwb canvas that seals to a channel on the rear of a Ute cab. The seller assured me it was ex military. It fits my 110 perfectly. Any idea what it would be off?

All sleeve installations are welded at both ends, the welds look well done, and the paint on the ROPS bar and rear hoop looks entire and original.

My truck is a 12/1988 model. I assumed the linternal sleeve arrangement was standard; my truck (I think) was from an Engineers detachment based out of, or near, Townsville. I can't think of any reason why their trucks would be any different.

Not concerned, just curious

can only go off my dodgey memory.........knowing the ARMY there is probably a few different options......

my question is how do all the rig pass safety certifiacte without a mod plate......pretty sure having ROPS fitted after manufacture would need a blue plate fitted......just saying
