ciderman Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 What The Fork is that ?? It states "well and truly tested this weekend " Somehow I cant beleive that statement , There are no pictures of it rolling down the side of a wood or quarry many times , So how can this be tested ?? Just goes to show you can sell any old carp on ebay thesedays . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous doug Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 when that rolls something will happen that i like to call the mous trap effect! i would be another wishing to see it actually tested, and 800 quid is an absolute joke! you could order hoops and stays from propper tube companys that actually fit the car properley for less! its not the worst one ive seen though, there is a 4x4brakers down the road from where i live withh a fortrack init the tubes look like drain pipes and there cut and welded at 45degrees no tube bender needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy511 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 although its carp i admit, its not as bad as my mate gwain's cage, built from scafolding tube, not notched and only welded where he could get to (the outer faces of the tube) with nicly deformed section of tube where the pipe bender crushed the pipe instead of bending it! some people whould really take notice of the saying 'if you cant, DONT' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Why pay £800 for what looks and has about as much protection as a kids climbing frame , when you could either buy a kit form cds cage from the experts such as this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Land-Rover-Truck-Cab...A1%7C240%3A1318 Or if your not into fabricating one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LAND-ROVER-90-DEFEND...A1%7C240%3A1318 and I doubt very much if someone would charge you more than a couple of hundred quid to fit it .
