near 20" wide.... holey moses.

I managed to get some work done on the saflux today. Marked out glass guard and planned angle of attack to make them actually fit :roll: finished steering column, bonnet pin brackets and made up a template so the dash can be cut from aluminum. Also continued gutting safari- mostly stripping loom down to the bare essentials.

And took my swaybar out for muskie. :mrgreen:

Got some of the bullbar made around the winch mount i fabbed up, Just need to add some plate down to the factory chassis mount on the 130 surf chassis and get a top hoop section bent up then ill burn that on then its finished,

Then fiqure out how to mount the fairlead as I didnt leave enough room for the bolts :( Might just tac in on then cut the weld's if needing to get it off :)

Hopfully the approach angle is ok as thats the closest and highest I could get everything up with the current radiator setup etc.

Also splashed some paint on the rollbar and the rear bumper i made.

I can swear by the batteries they're good, so it will be some other problem, maybe God doesn't like his clothes or haircut.
