Scott in Bellingham Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 are you really keeping the roof that high?? you shouldn't need more than 4 inches above your head. but looking good! working right along! :popcorn: what you see is a built in roof rack the actual roof will start lower, as far as the windshield goes Im going with a Samuri , this will eventually be licensed for the road so I want it DOT aproved glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott in Bellingham Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 the only bummer is that they will still be too wide for the 48" width limit on atv trails .. Yamaha Rhino is 54.1 in wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 That is so cool and so ugly at the same time Scott. Last one of us to get our current project on the road is a rotten egg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Yamaha Rhino is 54.1 in wide and i've seen them get tickets and warned to get off of atv trails. it all depends on how much the ranger wants to be a prick, and the fact that you have to be caught... the reason it's 48", is that's the width of the dnr bridges. the bridges at walker and tahuya my atv that's only about 46" wide barely squeezes. tahuya has 3' steel walls on their bridges so 48" maybe 50" if your lucky. the bridges at walker don't have rails, because the majority of them are barely 48" do to the fact that all the trails at walker are converted from single track. also different states have different width limits, our dnr the limit happens to be 48" bulge to bulge of the tire. forest service is about 50". not that there is more than a couple strictly designated atv trails in washington's NF i'm just giving you a heads up. if the dnr says no go, it's just putting a smear on the wheeling community. there has been a big problem with rigs that are wider than the limit and 4x4's running the atv trails in WA.

Rooinater Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 http://www.dnr.wa.gov/Publications/tahuya_both.pdf about the 6th green diamond note on the right side, has bridge width limits for tahuya other than 4x4 system. and the bridges at walker are no narrower, reiter there is no width limits on trails yet... it has only begun the process of becoming a designated orv park this year.

Sweet82 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 You'll never regret having the cargo rack. Unlike cars, Buggies have little storage space. Just finding space for a jack, or spare is tough. Adding space for a cooler, some drink holders, maps, straps, shovel, compressor and tools and spare parts is nearly impossible. Keeping it all dry is worse. ...and now back to the build...:popcorn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott in Bellingham Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hey Scott, how's the build coming? Need any hands? always need help, Im doing the EJ lift so it sits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsmiths Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Scott, have you considered triangle gussets at the 90 deg junctions? Might add rigidity at a very low weight penalty, you could even put a large lightening hole in each gussett without comprimising shear/buckling strength.

Rooinater Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 are you going to tuck that engine up higher? divorced case? if so i'd stuff the tranny and tcase into the cab area to get mass amounts of center clearance, the general pitfall of the subaru... a low dragging belly.
