Les Henson Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Nice job, the excessive roll cage lets it down a bit though I think. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonr Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Who got a tube bender for Christmas?! Impressive articulation! You can see he has replaced the hockey sticks with 'V's to stop the axle moving side to side and thus there is pretty much no restriction on the front axle. Not exactly standard axles either!

landrover598 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 That looks hideous stupid question, but what's the front extension part of the cage for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbeaumont Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Imagine how much it would weigh if HfH made a cage like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 That looks hideous stupid question, but what's the front extension part of the cage for ? When they are coming off the rocks at stupid angles they use these front bars to slide them out until the wheels can touch. Otherwise the nose hits first and they either go nowhere or roll. Or it could just be to attach a hammock to. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02GF74 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 What a load of cr%p!! Typical blingy hard-ass look but no real thought. Imagine it rolling and force applied to top of windscreen where the top of the snorkel is. I'm no roll cage expert but I do not see any triangulation - that mess on the windscreen is more or less right-angled tubes with not that much resistance against a side ways force. Likewise the top - trianglur bracing does not start untul the mid pointof the windscreen. Traingles - that is the right and only way! Another think to consider is if (or more likely when) the cage collapses, how are you going to get out through that cage of tubes. It is better than no cage but does not really cut the cheese for serious rolling about so don't be impressed by what IMO is a load of total sh!te!
