it amazes me why insurance companies increase the premium for adding extra safety to the car in respect to a roll cage, on the belief that it will encourage irresponsible driving.

Take a close look at a WRC rally cage if you have the chance, now those are a work of art. they turn a "production car" into basically a tubed chassis car.

As for design and type to fit that's a matter of opinion for the vehicle you have

I've been looking at WRC cages because the XJ is more like one of them than a separate chassis Jeep / 4x4.

I'll build it myself but ideally would like another die for my bender smaller than the 2" one I have - just so I can use smaller tube where space is tight.

Dodgy pump so changed for new, then dodgy return valve thingy me bob so released all pressure when ignition went off, changed again but got fed up of dropping fuel tank, skid... so thought I'd try this.

Tis,what I did.....

Sent the pump and float down to the man so he could make it fit......

2.73 galls is a bit small but was running LPG at the time.....

Reckon 5 galls is enough for most events/.days

That's the plan, looking forward to it.

All the jobs I've done and got planned and it will look exactly the same as before!
