That thing fell the **** apart. Hell, I can't even hot glue two Popsicle sticks together, but this video makes you think something was already cracked or there was some shitty work done somewhere

That's Shawn fisher's now (syko on here). That things badass. Somewhere on here there's a video of it popping a wheelie.

Zzzzz....
Looks like .120 to me. But a high-stress area like that I'd have slugged it with 1 1/4" .120 inside the 1 1/2" .120, then bent it.

Ok, just watched the video, looks like .083-.095 dirt track ****. Should have known that **** would rip on a bouncer.

Looks like the lowers may have given way first and allow the driveshaft to pull out or break. Really hard to tell in the video though.
Saw a pic on stalker book of Matt with a Raceline trophy, I guess he won best of show? That was pretty awesome driving it out with the ass draggin. I know we were all hollering in the house when it happened.

Yep, I noticed that too. I really hope that is thinner than .120. Other than my links and direct frame-tie ins underneath, my buggy is .120. :-\ It honestly looks thinner but you just never know when looking at pics.

It does look thin in the vid, but I have to think its .120. No one in their right mind would do .095 on a rig like that
On a cross bar, that will be a mount point for lower links, I dont feel comfortable doing anything less than .188 with good bracing, on a big tire/HP rig...so much force there.

Here's his build thread. It's a WOD Buggy, 6.0L, 14 bolt, Jana 76 front, etc. Meticulous attention to detail and probably one of the best working rigs I've ever seen. He went up back door about 15 times, made it look easy. Here's an in cab video of one of the runs. Madness Buggy 2014 Backdoor Shootout Practice Run
