Do like the tubular bumpers plus I would have thought a lot lighter than the solid plate flavours. All helps with GVW etc.

A bar will be replaced once mi mate has bought a mandrel pipe bender, best we could do with a hand pump hydrolic bender. Bulbs are Cree LED side lights.

A bit of camera trickery I reckon, they are bright, but as bright not as they appear in the picture

The uprights onto the sliders and rear mounts have smaller diameter tube welded on inside the main tubes matt, that I used as locators when I built the cage...so if you cut round the welds it should slide off...ish...LOL
