woodrow Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Where are the legs that go to the chassis. Bear in mid that over time Land Rover moved from cages (as on the SV and 50th) to "windscreen protectors" (Black and G4). Basically late ones are cosmetic only. From memory the Tomb Raider had a "roof rack support system" although its been a while since I saw one. I dont think it ever had chassis mounts on it although should be easy enough to make.

western Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Just a basic roof rack support cage, I'm sure they never had extensions down to the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 The cage on the "Tombraider" is all for show, there are no extensions legs to the chassis I was told that Safety Devices had built these cages for LR, but when I checked I was told they were manufactured by LR themselves I know this because I was trying to find where i could purchase the extensions to the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 and then tap the tube, it sounds like exhaust pipe...........Tingggggggggggggggggggge Not a cage at all................how many think they are "safe" should they have a mild roll ?

BogMonster Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I suppose it might help a bit... about as much as wearing a pair of underpants on your head when you come off a motorbike, instead of a helmet.... (this is a hypothetical example BTW ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkieB Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 about as much as wearing a pair of underpants on your head when you come off a motorbike, instead of a helmet.... Ah, summer in the Falklands, what fun :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 This seems to be an odd one, I have a Tomb Raider with a cage or whatever you want to call it made in 2mm thick steel and it has correct chassis extensions fitted at the factory, others I have seen are made in either 1.5mm or the same 2mm and most do not have the chassis support extensions I think maybe they made the first batch and then got legal cold feet and changed spec and description OR maybe SD made the first batch and LR the rest??? Is a strange situation though. Lara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Had 4 lara's in the past,, all the "cages" were only "roofrack surports" none went down to the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Maybe the export Tombraiders were real cages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Maybe the export Tombraiders were real cages? Its not the case, mine was bought in Dubai and has no extensions, I am having some made locally though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 May have the answer, The dealer here in Belgium told me that the earlier TRs they supplied were supplied to them without the cages and chequer plate etc and they had to fit all the bits and some parts were supplied to them dirrect from the suppliers of said bits, I think it may have been a LR decision not to fit the other cage bits if or when they bottled out of the Roll Cage isue, still not explaining the wall thickness though, but that could easily be explained by a change in specs some time during production.
