drkwack Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 By god man they look the dog,s dangly bits, take it you intend getting into some serious stuff. Looking at the pics, have you gone straight to the chassis avoiding the outriggers, also have you picked up on holes in chassis or drilled as neccessary ?.

Mr Alford Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 ye i have missed all the holes etc, and yes straight to the chassis, the strenth of these things is crazy i tested them out this w-end to find them extremely effective and strong as an ox, as most of u know with having them at an angle giving the triangular shape give them the most strength of they took a bash from the front or the rear, and a perfect base to mount my rollcage to!
