Hey Mick,
How about some photos of the body/chassis mounts for the cage? i.e. where does the A, B and C pillars connect with the floor?
Looks great - very solid.
Cheers

does shaving the diff weaken it at all? Where can I get it done, and whats the damage? I am going to bundera diffs, and have been told that I will lose some clearance

Cool.
Just out of curiosity, did you just use the door hinge bolt's at the rear, or did you also link it to the 'a' pillar of your roll cage?
What size tubing?
Sorry for all the questions.

Hey Mick,
Perhaps you can clear something up for me regarding the boggers...
I've heard a viscious rumour that when travelling at highway speeds they are frighteningly loud (i.e. as loud as 98 decebels?)??????
Is that right?
Or is that just crazy talk?
thanks mate

98 decebels is Really loud

I think it's equal to the loudest you can have your exhaust on a car too... which would make it very loud indeed...
however, i've heard 'urban ledgends' about people with boggers being pulled over because their tyres were too loud... hense my query.
