black betty on her side, don't ask it was really stupid...

so as planned the trail riding season is over for me w/ my son playing football & hunting around the corner i'll be pretty busy,

but after this past wk end i'll be workin on an exo-cage tie into the uni-body & 1x3" tubing fender "flares" to resembel the stock shape but cut to fit larger 35x12.5 tires & being an integral part of the exo cage (round tubing) as will be the rock rails & interior tubing pieces to tie the top of the uni-body to the bottom (floor)

rolling (1/2 way) wasn't fun,,
it actually scared the crap outta me (no actuall crap in my pants but..) i thought i had killed my girlfriend..
& the ride on Sat after this happened on fri (7-24-04) was slightly unnerving everytime we-would lean over my knuckles got white..

so next yer the COG will be lower even though the top will be caged & fenders cut w/ 35s the rear will be a d-44 (regearing to 4.88s & rear disc-brakes)
the cog i'll lower some how even if i have to truss the axles w/ 1/2" plate & add 1/2" plate to the *frame rails* & skids..
