Hey Jon, thanks for dropping in and the kind words! The seat is an expanded version of a low side suspension seat from Twisted Stitch that we have on a Rhino. It's a bit thinner and more upright than traditional suspension seats from Beard, PRP, Mastercraft, Corbeau, or whoever, and allowed for much more leg/gut room

Thanks AD, that means a lot to us!!


Worked a bit on making room for the radiator (really the fan, I guess). We have an inexpensive FSR double pass 31x19 that should provide sufficient cooling. In this application, we really want to use a clutch/fan/shroud set-up to optimize air flow...really no problem once we removed all that pesky stock radiator/core support/body mount stuff up front that was in the way!
I know there's a way we can make this work...gonna try to figure that out this weekend.
