Some of the items are in obvious need of an upgrade (link mounts) and others might be hiding. Give me some input on what you want made. Link mount brackets with a ramp in 2 weeks.....
What we are working on.....and what we have seen....
Gas Tank skid/Exaust crossover pipe - I have been looking at the gas tank skid plate problem and it is tied to the crossover pipe problem. I really think the only feasable way to correct the exaust pipe is to re-route it to the rear of the transfer. However, that puts it too close to the inherently weak plastic Gas Tank that rides too low to begin with. The obvious answer is to build a better gas tank that is both higher and farther back so as to give a margin of safety when you run the crossover tube in front of it. We are looking into it.
The front skids - I have already seen these torn off from the first slight impact, truly junk! ~1 milimeter thick. Check with AJ @ www.bentup.com he is working on a nice one at least 3/16" thick and more likely 1/4".
Rear arm protection - we are making a new mounting bracket for them with a ramp built in. ~ 2 weeks.
Anything else?
