I need a roll bar....

[JRP3]

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.

[JRP3]

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.

Glad you're O.K. JRP3.

Makes you stop and think.

Glad you're ok too JRP3.

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.

Ouch!!

Glad to hear your ok.

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.

[JRP3]

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

[Don]

I can take pictures of the bars this weekend if you're interested, but they are similar to the bar on the Li'ltruck. They have just enough clearance for the hood to open up and are mounted to the body seam. There's either a full steel belly band, or angle the extends about four feet up each side, but not around the front & back (I have one of each).

Sorry, here's the pic:

Thanks for the pic. I think I may do something custom myself, the single hoop just doesn't look like enough, though better than what I have.

I was just messing with the Wolf, slowly gonna restore over winter, but want to keep her runnable, cause the Colt isn't yet. I think I know how I will design my roll bar, but I haven't even loaded up the Auto-Cad program I got yet, so no image yet. Here's why I know I need one, this is the front of my front yard, it doesn't look as steep in the video for some reason. Maybe seems steeper from the drivers seat. I've gotten the front to lift trying too aggressively on this and the loose soil doesn't help with the slip/grab/slip/grab.
