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
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.

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.

I had a very busy weekend, got married!.
I'm puting it here as it was four wheel drive related. I'll let the pictures explain.


We also had mini green remote control 4X4's on all the tables for the guests to play with, and to destroy
