Lewis Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Ever thought they may be for function and not looks or cage strengthening?? No, the thought had not occured They look very much like those on a dutch competitors car (whose name escapes me) that feature loops for the mid winch rope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D9OSV Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 No, the thought had not occuredThey look very much like those on a dutch competitors car (whose name escapes me) that feature loops for the mid winch rope We do not run center winches although we do have the capacity to winch to the side as you rightly point out like, Jo Laeven, Remco Van Wardenn and Simon Van Der Weld (Trucks built by Simon Of Elephant Offroad, Holland) Steve G. Spot on, roll on roll off cage design allows us to us trees rather than avoid them. Would post full vehicle build specs but can do without the grief of those that want to pick holes This and it's sister truck will be at Billing please feel free to come and have a chat B) Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D9OSV Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Sorry that reads like our truckls where built in Holland they where not , They are built by ourslves, but the cage work was done by North Offroad (Top Bloke, Top Job) Sorry about the confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hi Dan,Event format superb..... Very fast techincal sections with some old ball stuff................Great Lots of lovely people and plenty of rain and banter in huge volumes. Car was wonderful, covers the ground well and climbs superb. Did find one weak point, the A frame Sheared the Bl**dy thing mid section and then promptly removed the rear propshaft.......... Bugger! That ended our chances The event format does sound spot on, i seemed to have totally missed all the advertising for the event, a pity really as its quite local for me Hopefully it'll run again next year, or some of the other organizers might take a leaf out of andys book. Just out of interest were you running the "A" frame in morroco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Jim, in your signature it still says .... The twinmotors are coming............ just out of interest - have they arrived yet? It has been long time..... Are they performing well? Reliable? Will you be showing them at Billing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
