i run 31 st's, and have rolled once. low speed up at mundaring. actually it was just after my avatar pic was taken. work at a handrail company so bent up my own and welded it at home. sorry, dont have any pics but it is not hard to make them. mine comes inside the wheel arches mounting to the floor, and the rear 2 mounts bolt into the rear seatbelt bolts. certainly adds peace of mind.
dont like the idea of bolting to the body.. if it actually rolled it would just rip out the bolts on the body...
A friend of mine ended up on his roof three weeks ago, down a rockface ago with an alum bar similar to this bolted to the wheel arches and his car broke the coily windscreen surround and only brusied the B-pillar. Bolting to the body in most cases will do the job.
Both the roll bar and body where it bolted into are good as new.

better to have it go through to the chassis.
also - an exo one will certainly save the body, internal only helps the passenger and driver =)

which is the best way to mount the plates to the wheel arches?
teck screws self drill themselves through metal. they are used on colourbond fencing etc
plates should be mounted on both sides of the sheetmetal on the body and bolted together so the body is sandwiched between the plates.

This was the result of a rollover at about 60-70kms/hr on a limestone track in WA - new years day 96. Stock standard zuk, in fact bought brand new only a month or two before. It was my first experience with a sierra let alone 4WDriving. Swore i'd never buy one myself - since owned two I was in the front passenger seat.

'89' Sierra Softy, 31x10.5M/T's, 2" susp, 2" BL, shackles, extractors.
Almost, out the back of malaga before it was all factories. Just caused by inexperience, trying to swerve around potholes going way to fast, overcorrected and bang. They reckon it rolled five - six times to land where it did.
I come off with a fractured verterbrae, shoulder blade snapped in two and handful of stitches in me head - lucky to be alive!!

80ks on the Great western highway, a dumbass changed lanes without looking (busy on his mobile phone) and i was airborne for about 10 metres until i landed on the drivers side windscreen pillar and slid for about 40 metres until i hit the back of a garbage truck.
No injuries just hurt pride.
