I got the new engine cage done. I also added some reverse tree bars. The last couple rides I almost lost a carb, exhaust and broke a remote reservoir off from trees getting between the rear cage and tire. Maybe if I learned how to climb hills I wouldn’t need them but until I figure that out I think I like them :evil:

Thanks for the bender plumberbill it made a big difference not having kinked tubing.

This is when I broke the reservoir. Thanks for the machete action gasman and the tree climbing firebug.

This is what it looked like before the tree attacked.

Reverse tree bars. Think the duck tape will hold :?:

It's the angle of the picture. It's actually on jack stands. I have a small garage and thats the furthest back I could get to take the picture.

Ohh, my bad. Thought he had 'em.
Didnt you used to run airbags, Brad? That might even have been a different buggy altogether. :?:
I usually noticed them because I had them on my old 2 seater.

Thanks for answering all the questions for me Jeff.
I forgot I put my last woodsbuggy sticker on my son’s truck. DVS1 do you have anymore?
Also who do we get the roll over stickers from, I can’t remember but I think I need 2-3 more just for this season.

I was thinking of doing the same thing but I don’t have any money and not enough tubing left to do it. Wish I had enough my 1” tree bars a getting beat up.

Hillaholic it was your wreck that made me come up with the idea. Blus a little 1/10" D-Plate and you got fenders. I'm tired of wearing mud and all the extra powerwashing, lol.
