Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im looking at making a full internal cage in my 80. Just wondering if anyone has any pictures to give me a few ideas on where to mount it to and also how hard is it to get it engineered?

I'm getting a full cage fitted at the moment. should have the car back by the end of the week, and will be more then happy to take photos and will be able to tell you more about it.

I've also bought one off outer where i got a few ideas from wich i will be putting up for sale in the next few weeks for a couple hundred dollars if anyone is interested. cage be a good starting point to make one from.

The cage i bought i couldn't get engineered because the front post ran down beside your legs, in front of the dash.

Not an 80 but Good ideas anyway

It can be done having a internal rollcage registered and engineered. I have gone through this with my 80 series. I have a six point cage fully engineered and legally registered and noted on my rego papers. I am in NSW.

It is clearance that is the issue and you cage will need to be padded. You will need to comply withLight vehicle code of practise 3.6 occupant seating and protection. You will also need a engineer that is prepared to accept that it can be done. Most will tell you that a 6 point cage can't be legally engineered. The interior space on an 80 allows this but something like a hilux forget it Don't be afraid to question them and politly show them the documentation if it can be done and comply. My engineer initially refused to acknowledge the cage and I questioned him as I had sent him a lot of information regarding it. He provided me with the speciafication and I did the rest. The cage complied.

Make the tool out of carboard and and string and do the measurments before spending thousands on a cage. That's my advice. You will quickly find out if it can be done or not. If you are in the Western Sydney area I still have tool if you wish to take some measurments. PM me.





Note the diagonal crossbrace is for offroad only. Cna't get it past as it interferes ith the rear passenger's legs.

It was built for competition use by 2Dextreme.

I presume it would but would have to confirm with the previous owner.
