Hello all!
Was sitting and browsing you tube videos of trucks and i found my self following the trail of rollover videos. So a thought came to mind..
What are peoples thoughts on external frames vs internal ones? Is there a benefit? Does anyone have a story or reasoning to support one more then the other?
I can see how an external one would 'preserve' the general shape of the truck if a roll over happened.. however i feel like you could get/make a larger, thinker, and perhaps 'safer' one if it was internal..
Just a thought... I know that some of the rigs on here have some pretty bad ass looking 'guards' around the bottom edges.. but nothing that wraps all the way around ( correct me if i am wrong, did a fair amount of searching but i know i have missed stuff in the past, hehe )
