I'd love it as a road car. B)

Good shocks are very expensive, so I had to skip them for now but I'm going to get them for the next season.
Roll cage is a must. I think that 4x4 competition in Poland looks a bit different than in UK ;) Last time there was 6 rollovers only during a few hours prologue. Only 1 of them didn't have a roll cage:

Exactly my point Placek.
in a highspeed rollover with that rollcage you are making, your Jimny will most likely end up looking the same as that Grand Cherokee.
You need to make some diagonal tubing in the main hoop. Perferably also in the roof. You also need to need to make some reinforcement tubing from the main hoop that goes down and backwards.

What competition do you attend in Poland?
