internal would look the goods and protect you...which is a good thing i think..doesnt seem to be much protection in a soft top

if your chasing info on roll cages for sierra's then check out my build thread as i've recientily done a internal 4 point roll cage with intrusion bars included in the roof and above the dashboard, i used 350 CDW Racetech roll cage matearial, air over hyd speedworx pipe bender and all welds were mig welded.
has all ready sustained a roll over at 40 km\hr mucking around, had no roof, windscreen, doors or back on only rollcage, seats and racing harnsess, cage is sooooo strong only scratched the paint off it didn't even dent it or bend it, i now competily trust this cage with my life for if and when my suzuki comes off second best
