Yes it's all perfectly feasible to do at home if you have space and tools. Also bear in mind that some of the parts are quite heavy and unwieldy so having 2 of you will probably be required at some point. One thing that nearly caught me out was the initial delivery of the kit - I was going to have it delivered to home, but in the end managed to get it delivered to the workshop (which has a fork truck) - just as well as it was in the back of a courier van and weighed something more than 150 Kg in a single crate. Not a chance that I would have been able to get that in my trailer on my own.

Another thing to consider is the weight of the cage once fitted, and the effect this has on C of G. Mine runs standard (but new) suspension and it is quite noticeable. If you were running a lift and some relatively soft springs, particularly without anti-roll bars, I would be prepared for quite a change in its road behaviour.

I'm afraid I don't have the installation instructions for an external cage but I would imagine that it would work in a similar way, but instead of the chassis connecting plates picking up on an inner "C" pillar hoop, there's a transition piece to match the internal structure to the rear tub penetration point for the external hoop. If you email SD they will happily send you the instructions on PDF.

It's all a question of the same process: offer-up, measure, mark, get paranoid, re-offer-up, measure, measure again, mark slightly differently, offer-up, re-measure, go back to original marks, get fed up, drill the f*cker anyway and hope for the best ....

Or maybe that's just me

Shouldnt be an isse re suspension my old 90 had a cage and drove fine with no ARBs and a small lift. The 110 has TF medium load springs + TF +2 big bore dampers (may change to OME +2s tho..) should be up to the job


Im only in 3 days a week from the 12th and dont need my 110 daily so should be alright for time!

Get the front hoop assembled and fitted first, that only goes in one place and then work back from that. Use common sense and logical progression. Take your time and measure 3 times before cutting because once it's cut, it's cut. If you're not sure, stop have a cup of tea, have a think and then go back to it. Do not set a deadline to finish fitting it, it'll only make you rush, let it take as long as it takes.

So rollcage time is approaching soon. In two minds what to do now, looks like the external only cages are quite straight forward to fit, making me think I should have a go a fitting it at home, got quite a big garage so most the work can be done indoors.

From what ive read it seems like a case of measuring carefully, cutting carefully and bolting together!

Anyone got any insight on how the bracket behind the rear/middle doors fits?
