    For those that don't know this is my stepson Brandon that i built the handicap accessible argo for.He is a c6 c7 quadraplegic wich means he is paralyzed from his chest down and has limlted use of his hands.I built this argo to give him the ability to go off roading.This thread is to show his progress and some ride videos.

    Glad to see he's up and driving, but what's with all that "not with ME in here" when Brandon wanted to take his toy through a little rough stuff?

    Thumbs up Larry W

    Good for you guys! That's great that he can now enjoy all the fun an AATV brings. Excellent work on the build, and you guys keep having a blast.

    Monoped and jp thanks. You can't tell in the video that his right hand looses grip and he has to let off the throttle and get another grip. I found a piece called a cruise assist that fits on the grip to help him use his palm to hold the throttle in position.

    Is that cruise assist you mentioned the same thing that they use on a motorcycle to help hold the throttle open on long trips?

    Oh, only 5'... can't say I blame you then!
    Thinking of the challenges of a total rebuild and modification such as this and the way you selflessly met these challenges just proves to me once again that 6X6 world has the best members of any forum - anywhere! And you are at the TOP of that list!
