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.

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.
