The idea was to have a 6 point roll cage made without having too get rid of the doors and the b pillar and the stock soft top/fitings.

this look like a 4 point roll cage david.
and it does not provide much safety to the front two passengers

Mean looking machine, love the shade. Yes a German Red would do wonders, how about the mudgaurd fenders of a Army 550's or a CJ7?

I am wishing to have a MM550 but the process of where to get how to re register is confusing and scaring me. I have lots of plans and ideas for the machine I've even started dreaming about it.

Jeep looks dashing now.

David, a few queries:-

1. What size pipes are those 1.75" or 2"?
2. What thickness mounting plates have you used, they look pretty thick. Have you provided reinforcements under the panels?

If you have plans of getting Front facing seats fitted along with Seat Belts (ELR type), you can get 7/16" UNF size threads tapped on to the roll over bar at appropriate locations (otherwise the ELR will not work properly)

Looks like it is MIG welding. Can't see the filler rods also!

Spike

PS- Please use washers also if possible.

[navpreet318]

I think he's using one plate on top and another under the body panel.Will the panel still need reinforcement?

Also is this the best way of installing a rollcage?Are there any more methods of installing a rollcage?

[chanu]

Yup for sure I will get it one day. Gun shot! for now this fella is serving the purpose with loads of happiness.

These are 2" seamless pipes , cold bending was done, a very good job done by the bender as there was no crumples on the pipe at all
The plates used are 5mm thick, one plate is on top and one is under the body and body is sandwiched inbetween.
Is there more reinforcements under the panels required ???

no front facing seats im going to get my bench seats cut and fited

Yup mig.

Yes washers with new nut bolts will go in once the paint job is done
