i've kinda came into this fab with the thoughts that it wouldn't last it was more of a "try it out" project.... so let me bash on it and if it holds up then maybe i'll make a solid fab jig and start gettin some people some diff guards.... i'd hate to sell one and find out it doesn't function for $H!t ya know..?

true true but you know people will buy them for mall crawlers also so if you disclame that heavy wheeling is not recommended then who knows you can still make a little cash
