phlat65 Re: XR V2.0 Build thread February 13, 2012 01:58PM Registered: 02/12/2009 Posts: 1,802 Nope. Happened to be in the right place at the right time. Derik was moving out of his house, and into a condo. That skid plate was sitting on the side of his house. I trimmed the front of it, and removed the sides where it wrapped up. I guess it was some $5,000 part from england.... Autoclaved 10 layer kevlar thing. Weighs the same as a gallon of milk I am guessing, attaches with 4 bolts. Score!!

heymagic Re: XR V2.0 Build thread February 13, 2012 04:32PM Registered: 01/25/2006 Posts: 3,740 ACP had one of those on his EVO. One guy job on the ground to install it, stupid light. They grow whiskers after a few miles of gravel pounding also. Another competitor had his Sube in a rotisserie and hand laid Kevlar under the whole body. Pretty neat stuff.

Prepped the garage Saturday between dad duties so I could attack the car today. Today I figured out the arm travel, shock travel, and made the shock mounts on the arms. I also finished the rear pin jack tubes. Please Login or Register to post a reply

NoCoast Re: XR V2.0 Build thread March 17, 2012 10:56AM Registered: 01/11/2006 Posts: 6,818 Cage start looks good. A-pillar bar is not so far forward that it's a pain or nearly impossible to get doors on and off like mine is. Same 18 degree angle on the rear STAs.
