Hi ken,

Top service Very Happy Thanks! Hmmm, I think I go with the 255 then. They just seem to look 'right' on a 110. m

Not on Sawtooths, but the original Freestyle alloys.

Thanks... Thumbs Up

Yes, its a Safety Devices 142 http://www.safetydevices.com/expedition/pr.../280/1784/
(like this, but no diagonal brace on the main hoop). It has a wire mesh guard fitted across the main hoop to stop all the kit flying forward.

Sorry, I cant get pictures of the chassis fitment as its behind the wheel arches, but the diagram in the link above shows how they fit.

Its a LR Special Vehicle build from new, they fitted it and I bought it when 2 years old. Had it for the last 12 years.

If I was doing another (and I might) I would get the full external cage as I've had a few close shaves with trees when laning and the extra protection would be worth while. See photo.. Shocked

Do the 255's on a standard height suspension 90 catch/rub at all?

They don't catch/rub at all on mine. Standard wheels & offset.

Its all bolted to the chassis, I've removed the rear hoop and it was a tight fit..!

I'm told its best to have roll cages professionally fitted as they are so strong that if you don't get them properly aligned it can bend the bodywork when you tighten the bolts up... Shocked

cheers
