At least you made the shock hoops look like the main structure did after your Disney roll. Looking good, now if you only could learn to drive.

The tuft of dirt/tree he hit was about 15' up the hill, then he kept going vertical until the rear tires hit it and kicked him. His rig is 14' tip to tip and he was up that high. I'd say 25' is accurate for the front tip of the buggy in the air. Then down over backwards to the right. Creek was rock bottom. Jackass only had his lap on and no helmet. If he had rolled to the left, his head would be mush, moreso than normal. As it was, his body went to the center of the buggy and only some bruises. Lost his glasses inthe freezing creek laughing1 I rolled in a rzr not 10 minutes later and was soaked too ****ing COLD.
The front tube work is looking a little heath, but the top looks great and is .188 wall and lots of it above your head. Rear is also getting a rehab lowering it a bunch and moving the cell. GETTING A COOLER TOO! :woody:

Had to cut the main frame rail to sink the seat down into so he cut it at the tcase and ran a new one all the way out the back. Ought to be much more stable now. :woody:

This aughta work hella better than what that chasis came with. The door bar will be the only thing left that i havent altered. The A to B roof bar is REW sched 80 it measured .210 (hoefully more dent resistant) and the rest of the roof is .120 DOM. The rest of the upgrades will all be the DOM.

lookin good Heath! bring that big bitch back to the SE!

Fab N Dirty · Dec 13, 2009

Keep in mind im still fitting nothing is perminent. Some **** may seem crooked. I'm looking for the next problem with having so much up and keeping it low. The first 4 pics are ride ht the other 2 are about 2" shy of full stuff. The floor was in my way for the upper links to travel all the way up. I'll be cutting that soon. I think I'll have alternate holes for the shocks to raise RH it could be lower than what is shown. (How low is too low) The oil pan measurement scares me I'm looking into that.
