It's the proper FIA cage with the front half cut off... Is bolted to mounts that are welded to the chassis...(which are a work of art)... Makes a massive difference to the stiffness of the Truck... Feels solid and planted... Would also save your head if you rolled it over.... I did think about leaving the front part in... However, It just wasn't practical as a road car....

Very nice, it’s the one with the huge bar across the length of the dash normally I presume, if so I can see why that isn’t practical day to day!!
I looked at those front cage things but not sure how substantial they are given they are attached in part to the roof - so that looks like a much better option! -2015 Defender 90 XS Landmark-

I have 18" Bowlers on my DC and was looking to shoe them with ST Maxx which I had on my Blindos. Nigh on impossible to find. Special order and not the ideal confiugration from recollection (18mths ago now). So Bowler popped on the BFGs. I prefer the look of the Coopers, but the BFGs are definitely quieter. Better on snow as well, if important. But Coopers on looks, every day. Thumbs Up Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Just a typical weekly shop! Shocked Rolling with laughter Bow down

Great pair of Defenders! Very jealous. Beginning to really like the look of those Bowler rock sliders with steps beneath. Is the step still practical to use? I'd really like to get rid of the step but kids and wife really do need them. James

The 110 Has the steps still on for the exact same reason... They are slightly obscured by the sill, but still useful for getting in and out....
If it was up to me, They would have been taken off....

Cheers
