Ya there are bypasses around all the real bad stuff. We built it so there were trails for anything from mildly built to full on stupid. I live in veneta also so ya I'll let you know next time we go up.

Haha thanks man. I'm not to worried about it but I figure after I get my cage and sliders I'll throw some new doors on it for the snow and sand. I'll keep the crunched ones for the mud/rocks

lose one of your upper control arms.... front end will cycle better sounds crazy but you have a dedicated trail rig and the triangulated uppers create a swingarm contrary to what is normal practice the LA front doesn't work so well found this out on my vw build

Ya I mostly like the front. I'm not a huge fan of the rear window guards either but some of it is cool. I have pics of like 10 rigs I like the cage on and i think I'm just gonna go off of them and fill in the rest.
