Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Okaaaaaaaaaay...

Apart from a winch, Oscar is basically finished But I need to sort out a way to pass CCDA rules with the targa-glass out.

With the targa removed (I really don't fancy having 2 x 4kgs of glass wandering around the cab in a roll-over), there is no side protection (if I lean on a tree it won't stop before it hits the centre of the roof... and I'm sitting in between the two )

There's an option of an exo, but I'd need it to be removable to get targas in and out, or I can do a 4-point internal, permanently mounted.

Apart from burning it (shutup Brendan) any suggestions???

See pic for what needs to be protected:
Sam... what are you doing with yours?

I vote Internal, mostly because an exo will look ugly as.... an X-90 with an exo (sorry, couldn't think of anything uglier:D)

I think curvy cars look really bad with exos. Nothing will ever look as good with an exo as a defender.

I thought exo's were a problem for CCDA anyway?

In any case, if it goes over, it will be totalled anyway, so part of the point of an exo is wasted- that is you might get away with a roll and fix it- can't see that working with the X-90.

Mostly because the assessor would just write it off to save his eyes from the torture

Ohhhhh I crack me up

( I am serious about the cage though)

Biatch

I'm thinking more of my protection... car can't get any uglier

... shutup Brendan

Anyway... it's cuuuute

Aren't CCDA following CAMS for cage designs?

if so then have a look here;

biggest thing i'd be worried by in the X-90 is head clearance... and also if you're trying to get it roadworthied you need to check with a local transport engineer...

Internal would look much better but then again anything that hides an X-90 has to be a good thing

How about looking into getting some replacement solid roof panels made up as well?

Just build an exo cage around your helmet. Problem solved.

I *can* hit you from here

Thought about solid panels, but they would still move if a pillar was bent out of shape and maybe drop into the cabin

Apart from a cage, engineering is sorted and because of the high roof... there's plenty of clearance.

Geeeez, with all this slagging off, I now know how a Land Rover driver feels

go internal but maybe if legal get some bolt in supports that go over the targa section to solve as a semi exo for that area hopeing to save the a and b pillar.

Build an EXO, then hang shade cloth from it so people cant tell what your wheeling, actually in this case you could call it SHAME cloth

Layto....

Can't you just feel the love?

Internal, only way to go.

Exo cages are just natures way of saying you cant work a tape measure and drive like a cnt.

id say exo cages are for ppl who drive hard and like body pannels???
id uslay say exo over int..
but in this case a exo will either take forever to get done properly, or will be all square and uguly.. either way it wont look right

Id say exo's are for those who fell down the trail and hit everything on the way down then claimed to have "driven" it.
If you had to have at least one thing thats not ugly on this chunka, make it the cage and do an internal.



Trust me, I know ugly.

Ok Rick and Liam.... well, let's get some exo's made up for both your heads so they don't look all battered and ugly...


ahhh shit..... TOO LATE

fair call...
also how did you find that rubber???

Internal squik !!
if you go exo , podge will just get pis5ed & fall off it whilst acting like a kid !!!!

Some dude in QLD had em on here. Id say dont bother with em, they were the carp on the rocks, even at 4psi (no beadlocks so I had to be careful) they bagged great but didnt grip. Looked cool but.

You're like a three legged dog on a skateboard... entertaining, but kind of pathetic at the same time

...or ride his pushie into a barbed wire fence

ahhhh memories !!!!!

jess , jess ................. where are you ??

my only concern with an internal would be clearances required between the cage and your head or your navigators head. CCDA would have all those specs.

Head should read helmet. Make sure you check the clearances while wearing your brain bucket.

The X90 has more headroom than the Sierra doesn't it?

"Shhhhhh.... what's that noise?"........ TYLER GET YER ARSE HERE NOW!!!

Grimbo, Glenno is going to have a look at it for me, but from what we've seen (the X90 has a reasonably high roof line) it might be lucky with it...

internal with stainless steel panels mounted to the cage

Grimbo , Squik has to sit on a fone book to see over the dash anyway !!
Dont think there will be a clearance issue !!!

I was trying to be diplomatic, more concerned with any passengers

Moose, if there was an exo on I would have done exactly that last night, I did a little celebrating over the Knight's win.

Just think if the X90 had an exo then we wouldn't have to frequent some of those establishments in King St, we could take the whole show with us.
