My ROW tdi still has its original bulkhead. Can someone advise on how much trimming is needed to install the attached SD cage? I’d love to see some pics of this installed ( interior pics). The 12 page SD instructions offers a few very vague shots that do not help very much! Literature only states” some trimming required!”.
Thanks!

What is a proper budget for $professional shop labor to have this installed?

You only drilled 3 holes? Please post pics to this thread. Thanks

Hi Scott, Great pics. I’d be interested in seeing the install that retains a “ partial bulkhead”, if you have any pics of that. Cheers

Collecting parts! I’d like to paint match the exterior front windshield bars alpine white to the truck. Can the SD standard finish be scuffed and paint prepped?, or does it need to be striped and primed/painted from bare metal?

Catching up: like others here I find the instructions for this cage lacking. As I told a local Rover owner, I give them a D- for the effort of the manual. The quality of the parts is nice, however.

I unpackaged mine this weekend, and it took nearly two hours to get all of the plastic off without hurting the powder coat.

A local friend with a NAS wagon stopped by and I was able to photograph the parts on his truck that aren't clear in the manual, especially the rear supports.

I'll start my install late this week and if time allows, will start new thread for the 138/7 cage and post pictures.

Please consider keeping in this thread, it’s all related and VERY helpful!
