Sat with a can of Stella last night (as you do) and placed my order...

Changed my mind last minute and bought two hoops to my size for the roofline guard, and a right angle bend to go around the fuel filler, and one of these -



to mount the top fairlead in...

For some reason when I entered the checkout on eBay it took 20% off my total, even betterer! :lol:

If you - or anyone else on here - order off me rather than through eBay I can always offer a discount ;)

Quick sketch of the revised hoop around the roof line -



I was going to the add some sheet steel in the back bit to hold the little fairlead I have.... but as I drew it I thought, no it doesn't need it, as the winch rope will run nicely over the hooped seamless steel tube... just like one of them Ultra4 buggies (Lambert) ;)

I spent most of the day today welding...



The X strengthening in the rear of the cab...

Surprising how long it took!

Pretty heavy tube for a small welder.....

Remember to structure the weld on heavier jobs........ Root - Fill - Cap..... Makes for a stronger weld than just blasting it in and lets you run the set a little lower. Heat input is lower also which is always good news.

Looks great as always Dave, I look forward to seeing it in the summer.
