Interesting Kap build - no pics and private plate was created by mcjimny
Was looking about earlier and found this:
www.kapsuzuki4x4.co.uk/sales/index.php

Would love to see it when its done. I know its a lot of run of the mill mods but the package sounds cool.

I've had a look at a few KAP builds, i'm impressed with the workmanship. I will be having a full roll cage there in years to come when finances allow. I quite fancy the carry back and truck cab idea.
I pop in each time I pass, and they are always welcoming even when I don't open my wallet. I just like a nosey when I work at a local site time to time.

I love the red one here:
www.kapsuzuki4x4.co.uk/gallery/photo.php#

Since i've dinged mine i really fancy some of those wide arches, just need some tasty wheel/tyre combo to fill them.

I've not seen any of their builds up close but they appear to be well thought out and not just a thrown together box of bits. I'd like a full internal cage in the future just for that piece of mind as i often take the kids with me.

hmm, well if you do buy a vehicle with a Kap roll cage fitted make sure you ask what stops the cage top moving and hitting the body of the vehicle (you missed a very interested discussion between Kap caged vehicle owners at Tong the other week!)

KAP have some wide arches on ebay atm £95 the pair, however they are for a spaceframe jimny, but would be a fairly easy job to fit. They started with 6 pairs about a week ago and haven't sold any yet.

I have to be careful what is said about products on this website and forum. Clearly by the legal threats I have received it is perceived that it has considerable influence, even if I preface everything with "In my personal opinion".

Needless to say, it would not be inaccurate to say we had an interesting discussion on upper cage rigidity.
