Is A External and Internal Cage A Bit Much was created by Mud_Muppet
Right guys I've got a Kap internal cage in my jimny which I love, but I quite fancy a external cage as well for protection of the truck and they look good as we'll, no I know having both would make it a bloody heavy truck...

What's your opinions ??
2001 Red Tin Top,
4.5 inch ORA lift kit,
Pro Comp steering damper
Kap Winch Bumper,
White Weller offset Rims with 30" Insa Turbo Special Tracks,
CB Radio,
Stripped Interia
Roof Rack with 4 front Wipac,
Rear Wipac recovery Lights
.....Plenty more on its way !!!!

Really depends what you want to protect, as said combination of the 2 is best.

Or stick a bigger engine in to cope with the extra weight and run both.

external only protects the body and not the person inside need a cross brace or if you have a proper roll it will just fold as theres not a lot of strength with out one

Well if it protects the body like you say, how will it protect anything if it folds? A proper exo protects the vehicle aswell as what's inside that's the whole point?

What I suggest you do is collect all your used bog roll tubes and Sellotape them together and make your own external tube cage ;)

Agreed.
External cage without a cross bracing, at best gives a false sense of safety. You may think you're safe and all behind those tubes. But you're not.

As you have a internal you could scrimp abit on the external to save some weight and still protect the body
