    I need a roll bar....

    Someone told me you can do 360's in a 6x6, I guess they didn't mean this way



    These things are heavy when they are on top of you, I'm really glad I added 240lbs of batteries to this



    At least I didn't have to worry about fuel leaking out while I was trapped under it. Jacked it up part way, pulled the batteries out, flipped it over, put them back in and drove it back home. So far there appears to be no damage at all, except to me of course I'm sore all over

    Nah, thats only a 180, you didn't stick the landing.
    Seriously, glad you came out of that well enough to drive it home, looks like it could have been MUCH worse. I worry about rolling my Attex, especially since I figured out how much I can climb. I'm interested to see what you come up with, I haven't figured out what to do on my stock Wolf. Need a good bar but to look like stock too.

    Actually I was really stuck on the landing
    I like the look of the rounded ones that hydromike does, and they would probably make it easier to roll back over, but a square one might stop you from rolling as far. Plus I don't have a way to curve a pipe like that. I'll be studying different examples for inspiration.

    OK, got me there. Glad you can laugh at the accident.
    I think H-Mike's cages are great, won't work for me because I'm staying stock and the engine hatch will be in the way. I need to attach to a steel belly band and to clear the hatch when it opens, but still be low enough to look descent. I actually had decided to go without it for the best stock look, then I saw your post and thought about what I've done already, and I'm still learning and working up to bigger/tougher stuff So after how well your E-ttex? turned out, I am curious to see what you come up with cage-wise.

    Glad you're okay, and hope the machine's all right as well. I've got a couple OEM style bars for Attex if that's the route you decide to take.

    Be careful.

    Do you have any pictures of the stock bar setup? Where do they attach?
