So did you do the other side to match?
Not yet, got to go have a flat on my trailer replaced right now. Going to this evening though. Wished they made a round half tube piece of UHMW!

I got some 5/8" thick UHMW. Thought about milling a channel and adding some

That's a really great idea. Makes me want to cut my cage and then gusset the cut line just like that.

After the last ride, I decided to do something about the heat. Installed an 8 inch fan. Made a shroud to block heat from the radiator hoses. Hopefully it will pull from the leg area after I put in vents.

Next came the shields for the radiator hose areas. I believe they are why your drivers area gets so hot. Added the aluminum tape to the back of the HDPE peices.

Before....

So, I think we need to pull heat out of the engine compartment instead of pressurizing it. Pull air in all the little places! So added the cooling vent for the flux capacitor to the hyper cooling drive.

Sucks air from the coolant side of the block and vents it out drivers side.

Finally got the rear spring spacers installed. Unloaded the machine was sagging in the rear. The springs had settled so all the top coils were touching.
Add all my gear or passengers and I hit every rock in the trail.

Added to the bottom.

Also got the sway bar removed. Wheel spacers will hopefully be here this weekend . Pretty much done for the Takeover. Have to mount the spare axle somewhere and some rear mudflaps.
May also try to make a chainsaw mount.
Seriously doubt I will have time for some tree kickers...
