That's something completely outside the box! This thing looks like it going to be awesome. Can't wait to see how you set up the dig. |

Despite this build being completely insane!, I will be watching intently. I know you have great concepts and do great work so I am sure this will turn out bad ass...and probably dangerous! Subscribed. |

More work! Set the bender up outside, and began bending the rear upper frame. It's symmetrical to the front. Mocked up on the rear: In case you're wondering what's going on in the background- Bug's Volvo C304 6x6 is getting a Mercedes 617 Turbo Diesel! Here's the upper frame cut and fit together with inserts: Here's the upper turned upside-down with the lower chassis sides mocked up. We fish-mouthed the side to connect with the upper chassis, but I didnt take any pics. Not bad for a saturday! Next up is buying shocks and the rest of the link hardware, and Bug will get some tubing for the links! Thanks for looking. Ryan & Bug |

the cage has to be a minimum of 30"X125"X50" to pass specs! Good luck getting through the gates! Looks great Ryan |
