How fast were you going on that trail? and isn't it hard to drive with the upside down steering wheel?

We've gone pretty fast down that trail, I bet he was going even faster that time.

The steering wheel thing, in the end, is all relativity.

30-40 i guess

steering wheel being upside down doesnt truly effect anything

anyway, went down with a few of us to visit courtney this past weekend, ended up in the barrens (of course)

the barrens are full of whooped out straight aways, so needless to say i got some good quality testing in (and fun)

a couple minutes into wheeling one of the hoops tore a corner of one of the tube feet off the sheet metal...called in a favor to Tim (at LII) who was close by, and he welded a cross-bar in for me at his shop and we were on our way



solid as shiat now...beat it as hard as i could (thats what she said) and it held strong

some pics of the fun (cuz who doesnt like pics). mostly ranged from 30-50mph over anything rough, crazy ride for sure

[Buffalo Phil]

That last picture...the look on your face.

i need a harness too. being my size is also hard...i was flying around nonstop...and i need an oh-shit bar...or some sort of padding to go on the door handle up top...i has blisters now hahaha

[Magilla]

i do got some harnesses you can acquire for wings and beer

[HeavyMetal]

hahah this is definitely not in the immediate plans, but im gonna remember that

i gotta start funneling money back into savings and the company now that the jeep is setup how i want it this way

[Magilla]

some companies do offer a harness bar that bolts in the place of the loop up top on the seat belt. something to look into.


yes it is a superjew but it was the first pic that came up. pretty simple to make and remove when the time comes
