| yeah, main reason is for strength. but just cos it aint been done dont mean its gonna look good. i bet no1 has welded a cast iron hippo to there roof, but that doesnt make it worth doing! | |

| a lot of work for foobar all extra strength and looks crap imo. Like matty says just run a full cage and maybe run some cage down inside the sills? Almost like your tube framing it inside the existing shell, tie it into the front strut towers, rear towers, subframe mounts, cab hoop etc etc would be stiff as hell and if you get it tagged and approved you would be allowed to run some serious times if you get running some good power through it. | |
