testing the exo's

So with rock rash '08 approaching really fast, most of the boys decided some roll over protection was required ( there is nothing like leaving things to the last minute
)
Mine was all cut, fitted and tacked on, on the truck. Here it prior to being welded off
And off the truck and welded but not yet ground
.
On the truck, painted and ready to test out
Choppers cage on his rig, (note the lacking sheet metal on his mint 'lux. Don't let him near an angle grinder and your truck
)
About 300 mtrs in, Chopper tests his cage out
Mine just gets all flexy
And Supra surf (also sporting a new exo cage) gives his a test out.
.
Also on their side this day was H20lva. In fact even though we tried to get everyone over at some stage ( and some people twice!) Goose and i were the only ones to remain upright. (although I did have both drivers wheels off the ground at 1 point
)
Good fun test out day up Worsleys.
Now to go and fix the really last minute niggly shit that needs sorting before Friday

Nice pipework there guys, would you be interested in bending a little bit for me for some front and rear bumpers and a couple of rock sliders?

by the time we get all these exos finished we'll be well practiced in the art of pipe bending.
And if this trip up Worsleys is anything to go by....then Rock Rash is definitely gonna test the buggers (he says thinking $u#k i wish i'd got the rest of my bars done
)
