Yep £112 which is £12 more than I paid for em, and I bought a set of 5 but one deliminated. & they've been on two sluts outings on Mrs B's Disco & I've done 1800 miles since I got the 90 sorted. So a good price really..

Griffy. I haven't forgotten about yer jack I just didn't get a chance to get to Bristol last week. I've got it in my truck in case I pass your place.
Sorry not front half as such I guess front third...
There are three sections available to this rollcage, what Safety devices call an internal half cage sits over the two rear seats fully inside the cab. The way it was explained to me this protecte both the drivers and passengers from being squished.
They then have external front legs that fit to the internal half cage and the way it was explained to me these are more to protect the vehicle than the passengers to ensure it remains driveable.
Then there is obviously the extra bolt on to cover the rear section of the cab.
I was just going to get the internal half cage page at the bottom of page 2 here http://www.safetydevices.com/images/products/4x4/2008 catalogue - defender110.pdf RBL148 7SSS Internal 'Half' roll cage with external front legs.
I have been quoted approximately £700 fitted for the internal part and then it would be another £600 or so for the external front.
I don't care about maintaining driveability all I want to do is keep safe.
Any thoughts?

I think you have answered the question.
The standard Defender is not a structurally sound shape or design.
The standard Land Cruiser will fair a whole lot better every time.

We decided on internal roll cage for our trip as no.1 priority above all else - not even because of rolling but other drivers and the possible impact on us (with the kids on board also) - if we were to be hit from the side at any point.
Given this, the only thing that we still wonder about is the point of rock sliders (as we had initially considered) - would have thought that if vehicle impact from the side - would hit lower down rather than high up first. But, was told that if vehicle hits at side then passengers higher and then protected by the internal roll cage. Given this, why do people recommend rock sliders in this case? Are these just designed for added side strength for winch points?
