Yeah will just add alot more strength into it if the backstays, and b pillar bracing all meet at the same point on the b pillar, so run them at a slight angle from the b pillar bracing down to where the side bars of the tray meet the centre part.... that will look wicked!

[discothrasher]

So the truggy is pritty much done just a few little tweaks after the first test today then connect the winch and the auto cooler with thermo fans and done ......here are a few pics of it today in the intial first flex up test

[discothrasher]

[Dan346]

[hugezook]

Cheers
Jake

[hugezook]

and whats the wheel base?

[discothrasher]

yeah they only 14 " but the way we have set them up is getting max out of them the shock hoops have been designed to allow for up to 20"

wheel base is 102 at the moment but in a couple months when we do the front suspension it will be taken further out

did a few more adjustments yesterday lifted the wings up more and aded a few extras will post up some pic tonight

[discothrasher]

So truggy is now completed except for a few alloy panels to go on the rear wings
A big thanks goes out to OUTCAST OFFROAD for all there input and help in building this unusual rig ,and i would definately recommend Greg for any fabrication work not just truggy builds but sliders rear bars and any under body protection
Thanks again OUTCAST OFFROAD ( grover69 )
