Apparently he has one! I would never consider full glass out here with out some way to vent it

Yeah.. you have to have the seat belt bucked or do the override by taking the buckle apart. And make sure you have the e brake fully down or it will not go.

You have seen the color it came w a roof and half windshield.Ordered the ft bumber .tailgate w storage.some sort of dust thing.The hook things .they had one in stock ,not that great.Probably going to get the flip windshield from sxs w the machinist add on.I was checking out the skid plates.only look like metal in the critical areas.
Thanks for the Thread. Can you advise what the machinist add on is?

Most definitely! 🤣🤣 they made me test the heck outta dat thing 😆
I dont think I would've been able to keep up with @TripleB and @Bad_bowtie with out them skids. Or do half the crap I did on my own either 🤣
I think between the spring spacers and the skid it made a world of difference. Allowed me to hang with the big boys for a day or two 😉. Right up until the last 20ft of the last trail. Got hung up on a root I couldnt grip to climb. I was being a little cautious having the kids in the back so I came down to it kinda slow 🤔 ...should've sent it!! 🤣🤣 but it was a blast.

Do a quick estimate on weight before you consider steel. I have a 1/2” UHMW and it’s great. No complaints.
