      Rob, will you stop there or connect the rear to a front section, over the driver?

        The cage will fit under the hard top and the bench seats should still fit. The original plan was to go with a 6-point cage with a hoop over the front section. However in order for that to work the tubing would be very close to the clutch pedal in order for it to tie into the frame. Between that, weight, and cost, we went with the 4 point cage. It will offer more protection than the windshield frame and door tops did this summer

              nice,

              after rolling my second Rover in Canada< friends started calling my vehicles "Land Roller". Luckily not flipped any of the Series however, just the less precious Range and Discovey models!

                    It's been a little chilly in the mornings around here lately, so (for the first time ever) I put the door tops on and secured the sides & back of the soft top.
                    It feels like I'm driving a Cadillac compared to running around with no door tops and the canvas rolled up.





                    Oh, and here's a pic of the Roverdrive I installed a few weeks back:

                      Have you discovered an invisable grease for u-joints or do you just put exactly enough? I do not see the slightest bit of grease spatter on the underside of that truck yet!! Looks great!!

                        Thanks. I hate to admit it, but I actually cleaned off all the grease spatter after greasing the u-joints. Ah, there, I feel much better now. My therapist says that talking about my OCD problems will help me overcome them.
                        I'm not sure it's working.

                              Exmoor removeable/zip-up Door Tops?

                              jac04: Are those the "new" exmoor zip up door tops? If so, are the frame steel and what are your thoughts on them and their quality?

                                It is the dip stick assembly that comes as part of the Roverdrive package.
