Thread: Roll Bar- on a budget

I would be using steam pipe welded to plates, bolted to the chasis. Don't scrimp when making a roll bar. Those that merely bolt to the body are more of just a light bar.

Why were you getting a fume build up in the cab? Most Land Rovers have ample ventilation to dissipate any fumes. Do you have leaks in the exhaust?

Aaron.

this is the grab bar on my shorty. It's not bolted to the chassis but a couple of bars straight down from the over head bar to the chassis would probably work (unless your racing it). Mine is bolted through the original cab holes on top of the tub. As I said it's a grab bar, for shooting off and something to hang onto hooning around in the bush. In summer I take the roof off and It's piece of mind for the missus.
If your in Perth I can do one a hell of a lot cheaper to your design.

oops the picture

Thanks for the reply. I'm from brissy, a bit far from Perth.

Yeah when i got my quote thats what I was told. I suppose the qoute was reasonable given what he was going to do, but i'm reluctant to spend that.. partly because I will never recover that cost.. (i'm a new land rover owner...maybe thats a concept i'll adapt to eventually ??)
