Hey Aboone,

Let me start by saying it was great meeting you this weekend and thanks again for the water.

That is one kick ass frame. :lol: :lol: :lol: Looks familiar :lol: :lol: :lol: Although, you have made some very cool mods to the roll bars...

Those seats are very cool as well...

Look forward to following your progress.

Dan

looks good i do see a few thing it is missing it needs a x-brace and know would bee a good time to think about the front and look a how some of the other buggys look i like how a beeline fram look up front and dont forget your top trans mont thay work and look better then a strap and corner gussets look bad ass.i know a place that sells all kinds of tabs,and mount and gusses stuff like that.

Thanks it was cool meeting you guys as well .Mickey mouse it was very cool seeing a 4 seater in the hill climb!!!!Its been about 3 years since I sold out so I got the fever real bad ... the only thing is money just dosent go very far any more!!
I am a fan of top trans mounts instead of straps it helps stop any flex in the torsion housing I have them made just not installed yet
I am still undecided on the front . I have been cking out some dessert cars for Ideas I am in need of some where to buy some gussets and tabs such as flooring and roof ,seat belts and what not

That is a kick ass center support... Does that get in the way of the back seat passengers? You are inspiring me to reinforce my frame some more..

I have my front seats setting back further than you do so I only have room for children to ride in the back of mine the support dosent seem to effect the rear passenger area at all . Not to mention you already have more room back there.

You have inspired me to reinforce my frame with some additional tubing. Here is what I am thinking..

1) Extra roll bar next to front seats.
2) Extra support for the back roll bar
3) If it is OK with you, I would like to copy your double bars at the top.

MM I think that would look killer. I like the braced up look not to mention the safety factor.
And by all means copy away... Lord knows thats what I did !!!

looks good just make shure u keep the front end tight to the beem and i dont like them seat mounts dont look safe may be run some pip from the bar in front of seat 2 the tortion with some tabs to mount the seats to just an idea and if u ever plan on runnin a longer front arm the front pice of pipe on each side will need to be moved back a bit so the ti rode will clare on the pass.side

Those rims are badass man, and the bracing is too.... I had super swampers on my buggy with that style tread and I found that they really suck in the woods. I couldn't hook up at all on hill or in the mud...

Thanks ... I have always run cut buck shots or v-treads but never super swampers .I hope when I get the cutting Iorn ahold of them and since they are 15" wide they will bite decent but if they dont they will make good spares
