These things are beefy. The slug is 4340 and the cover plates are billet steel versus aluminum which most of the competitors use.

door bars are not welded in yet since I may need to remove them while putting in my cage. It takes a little work to get them out, but they can still be pulled

seats mounted

that thing came out pretty cool :gigem:

I like the rear fenders, that came out pretty cool. Good to see some good parts going into the axles, always better to do it right the first time

Can't wait to see it on the trail :gigem:

the only downside I'm seeing is no bed / floor in the back. Do you have plans for something? That's one thing that I don't like in the Patrol - there's just no-place to put tools, an ice-chest etc...

Thanks for the compliments. As for the ice chest and tools, there is a pretty large open area where the rear seat used to be. I'm going to build a rack there when I can get a chance. I may also put some kind of rack in that area above the gas tank. Like I said, I still have alot of little things I would still like to do, but some of it may have to wait a little while

that looks real good chris. nice work

looks good. tall. what tire size?

looks good, but is it just me or does the front sit lower than the rear?
