No pressure.Pics, Pics, Pics, we want pics....
I'll snap a couple more today...a few things coming together.

Mike...what are the main reasons why you changed the arms? Lighter? Stronger? Longer? Or simply to accomodate making it wider?That's the plan.
Are you guys going to run 30's? If so what brand...BFG's?
Hubby's Commander has become quite the challenge too! Glad to read that we are not alone...
That XP build is looking clean and sharp. Way to do it to it.
Jo
Ah HA!!! Great job. IMO the factory welds on the XP are of a major concern. The one XP that I looked at showed many weak spots.No pressure.

This is a great example of strengthing a major problem(again, imo).

Pretty much for weight and strength...will be stock width and length. BFG will be supplying some 30's for the car...we'll have to see how that works out.
I am too. Getting up and away from the rocks sure would be nice. Will be interesting to see how the drivetrain handles it.
15's...not sure on tire balls yet. The drivetrain will certainly be the big question, hopefully we get some test time in to see how everything holds up before Silverstate. If they don't work out, it's certainly not tough to make a change back.
Mike
Good choice on the tires. Are you running the KO All Terrains or the KM2 Mud Terrains? I think the KM2s would be awesome on this car.15's...not sure on tire balls yet.

I can see it now, in the near future, UTV Pro Class will be renamed Class 1550 Lite/Mini Car....but I'm not griping, faster is always better and I think this is one of the best ways to get into desert racing without costing $100G right off the bat...
Mike, definitely let us know how the tires and car hold up.
first off let me say great build jagged X you have definitely stepped up your game on this build, With that being said I have an issue with cutting off the entire suspension points and making new ones, The rules state " All a-arm mounting points must remain the stock design, and remain in the stock location as delivered from the manufacturer, however they may be reinforced for strength"
reinforced for strength means to me gusseting the factory mounts not make new ones I understand in some instances that after a crash a mount may be crushed or torn off and needs to be replaced.
We are trying to grow this sport and keep the cost to a minimal but when you have people building full tube chassis and "laying" in the factory frame it only drive the costs up for other people to try and compete with them
