Ringpowertally, Everything you've been building looks great. I was just looking at mine, were going to put a guard on top of the cab for falling limbs, that's always worried me. On the new "D" there are mounts for lifting on top of the cab, would be easy to build guard and bolt down there. Something to think about if you haven't already.

the cab roof is already 8 or 10 gauge metal with beefy reinforcement frame under the sheet metal to tie the lifting points together and to the frame....... not sure what the roof guard is for besides a place to bolt ambient coolers and stuff to. i have seen the aftermath of a 36"+ oak tree land ontop of a 299C (same cab) and it scratched the paint and broke the screen over the radiator.....that was it!! oh and the seat needed to be steam cleaned...:laughing:



if your still worried about limbs.....or gun fire for that matter than you need this!!!

What was the purpose of that machine?

 

[RINGPOWERTALLY]

its called the Rook, it is a armored entry machine for swat teams and police departments, there is a group of attachments designed for tasks related to geting into or gaining access to a hostage or other hardened entry situation. i just finished and delivered this machine about 3 weeks ago and it has already been used on 2 real missions.

Thanks Ring, AWESOME Work and some great pic's ! That helps a whole lot. Also thinking about fabing up a overhead steel guard that would set on steel brackets to support it above radiator/hydro cooler that would run from the back of the cab, over the rear torque tube for the loader arms to protect the cooling system from falling dead tree tops that could make for expensive repairs. Might also make it strong enough to house an aftermarket roof mount oil cooler. I would also have limb risers coming off the rear connected to the winch door on the rear. Lol ! Gotta lot of idea's, just a matter of getting enough $$$$ to cover it. Got it figured out in my head, just need to put it on paper and figure out clearance's and placement of brackets so not to interfere with lift arms, cab tilt, etc.:drink::drink::cool2:

That looks like a SWAT vehicle.

 

[RINGPOWERTALLY]

you could do a cage like ASV used to make on there older machine. then cover it in expanded metal on hinges so you can get at coolers and rear door......
