Exactly why i'm building a Roll cage.....

I was just going to post "Steve, make a roll cage" after seeing the ute!

Makes my blood run cold. Got the same thing walking around the Southern 4x4 wrecking yard looking for bits for a mate's Bundy.

Hi Uncle Ho,
I was the lucky front seat passenger who was in the red Rover. All 3 of us crawled out by ourselves and no cutting equipment was used. All you see is road damage! I think we got out at the rear drivers end but I'm stuffed if I know how. It's one hell of a way to wangle a ride in the RAF Sea King rescue chopper! We were only travelling at about 40 mph but with a strong cross-wind as John mentions. This was not on the road to MPA but one of the cruder roads that run between farms. The gravel was very thick and loose - like driving on huge marbles. By the way, a Defender went over on exactly the same corner the week before, also without fatalities. Moral of the story - wear your seat belts and drive slowly.

That is one thing that scares me with the 130. A lot of weight to put on the cab.

Wagons are a far stronger structure than a ute cab - seeing that ute is sobering and I'll defintitly be giving serious consideration to a roll bar in my ute.

I believe the cast alloy A pillars of the 110's are a very bad design structurally, they fail with a brittle snap without absorbing any energy compared to old galvanised steel A pillars of the series landies.
