Post subject:  Adding reinforcement
Ive begun to reinforce my frame ive got a few bars now and have a couple more i want to add, I would like for you guys to point out places for more. What can i do about connecting the front shock towers together? Would you guys do it? I plan on doin an "x" behind the seats and on the top and the two bars that go from the main hoop hehind me to the back over the motor. Any more i should do or dont do? Thanks

I'm in the process of Monstalining my buggy and adding supports as well. I couldn't see the front end of your rail but I'd suggest a X behind the front beam and tie rods if possible.

One thing I found when stripping off 4 different colors of powdercoat is a minor crack on my frame near the upper shock mounts. Also underneath the bar that holds the master cylinder. I'm not saying it's guaranteed you'll find a crack or broken weld but doesn't hurt to look and reinforce now.
