110 Cage

[revor]

Hokay... Here's a question... Do I use the Safety Devices Euro 110 cage I own or build a custom cage..

Keep in might that I have certain skilz that allow me to modify (or mess up) most anything..

If I chose to do a Kustum Kage what would the SD cage we worth?

 

[UnfrozenCaveman]

Yeah, make your own ... and that SD cage is worthless ... I'll be right over to pick it up

Seriously ... by the time you modify the SD bits to do what you'll end up wanting, don't you think you'd be time ahead using them as a template to make a copy from that you could modify for racks, awnings, lights, etc. as needed.

Presuming that the SD comes powder coated (I hate that stuff), you'd need to remove it as mods took place and re-coat with something when you're done anyway, right?

... the other Keith ...

The SD cage does take up some good space with its lower bracing that you may be able to get back with a kustum setup. Also depending on where you plan on mounting things, a well thought out kustum cage could be fantastic. But building a cage can take a while, and I think there is another project waiting in the wings. . .:shakin:

I'd have to agree with the other Keith You have the SD for a template and can copy the lines as closely or as loosley as you choose. In addition you can make any upgardes or additions guilt free w/out butchering the SD. I think to the right person you may be able to get a few thousand for the SD, which should cover all the material and :beer: cost of the new project.

But if I make my own Graham will beat me up!!!

Or help to make sure it goes quickly :Mechanic:

It's all pretty much up in the air at this point.. Do I buy the non caged 300tdi 110 or a reasonably price NAS 110 (really there might be one out there)? If in fact the SD cage has significant value then perhaps it helps to offset the installation of a diesel in an NAS but then there is that bulkhead issue with an NAS truck.. Build a cage/install an engine?

 

[UnfrozenCaveman]

... or a reasonably price NAS 110 ...

LOL ...

Someone with a pair of CDN 110 3-doors might be interested in the SD bits, no?

SD went bankrupt over a yr ago.they restarted but their production is in Poland right now.
result, very poor fittings.
Over here we hardly place SD cages anymore.

Go for P&P
Excellent fitting and these guys can do whatever mod you want to.

I think you should build a cage with all the metal Graham cut out of his rack.

I'm sure that someone might be, but does he have any $$$?

No kidding huh? Might be able to make two cages..

Yeah! What he said! There's a set of coils and a blow torch with your name on it, calling you back to the shop!

What bulkhead issue?

 

[gjackson]

I can't speak for Keith, but I expect he means the non-vent bulkhead. You already took care of that! And I will never forgive LR for getting rid of the vents in the new D!!

cheers

 

[revor]

I hate bulkheads without vents!
