Ways to Improve Safety of 60 (accidents, rollovers etc)

[D'Animal]

I feel safer in my 60 than I do in my 1999 Tahoe. The rig is made very tough and will with stand more damage in an accident than the human body can.

If you want a stronger factory rig you might want to look at an H1 Hummer.

After reading some stories about having a front ARB bumper, I feel like it makes the vehicle safer. With a frame mounted rear bumper, I will feel even safer. I travel US 50 in Sacramento and see accidents about once a week.

You could put in a cage like the guys that did the Baja 1000 in Toyota Trails. That was good enough to go off a cliff and roll 15 times end over end.

I've been thinking about adding a Milford Cargo Barrier. Besides keeping your junk in the back from hitting you, they are supposed to add some measure of roll-over protection and act as a roll-bar. I believe service vehicles in Australia require cargo barriers?

Here is what I would get. Never can be too careful.

I hit the back of a ups truck going 30 and it tilted my front bumper up 4in no other damage, and the ups truck was missing a door and i moved it up a couple parking spots...my brakes went out. They are pretty structurally strong rigs.
