[QUOTE="Ugly-Buggy, post: 376336, member: 8599"] Great build! How are you going to build the roll cage over the cab area & in the back. I'm planning to completely rebuild the cage on my Sammy for about another foot of room from the rear of the seats to the firewall. Being 6'6'' tall is mainly why I'm doing this lol, the other reason is with the wheel base being stretched to 102" the wight distribution is uneven leaving it heavy in the front. I never thought of it being an issue until I sheared the bolts to the front drive shaft at the t-case & had to drive it back to the shop from the rock garden in 2 wheel drive using the rear axle. No problem right? Well due to it being heavy in the front & light in the rear, the rear was all over the place while trying to push the font of the buggy back down the trail. This is an issue I'm addressing with mine. Depending on how much you plan to stretch your wheelbase & your axle placement - You may already have a plan to keep from having this issue yourself, but thought I would bring it up just in case it hasn't. Anyway, your build looks great, will love to see the finished product. thumb.gif [/QUOTE]
