Hello folks. I'm new here. Been looking at this site for a few years now. I love this site ! I have learned a lot from here ! I'm hopeing to meet some new people and hope to ride with a few of you all one day. I'm building a berrin venture I believe. My dad use to ride lbl all the time back in the 90s. Hope to drag his buggy off the trailer and restore it. And start rideing again ! I will start a build thread soon and start posting pictures once I figure that part out. Again thanks for the awesome web site folks !!! :D

Maybe this works and they post up. Photo bucket is a pain in the butt on a iphone4s !!! This is my first try at this forum stuff . I apologize if I mess up. Haha
I just loaded my buggy on this trailer for the first time. I just finished building the trailer. The buggy is running and driveing. Needs a bumper and engine cage built still then it ready to tear down and paint.
Everything seam to work really well on it so far. I believe in the kiss rule. "keep it simple stupid " haha. I have tons of build pictures I will get uploaded soon .

You might want to throw a Race brace in there. Its basicly a large X right behind the seats. Makes it alot stronger and something i would do. It goes from the top of the cage to the torsion at the corners.

Yes sir . Thank you for the heads up . I wanted to do a full x behind the seats but with my battery where it is and a few other issues. I ended up doing a y type race brace. I know it's not as strong as a x style but I'm hoping it will work out okay. I might end up redoing it before paint with 1 1/2 tubing instead of the 1 inch . I plan on x bracing the roof. And maybe the back bars above the engine for added strength.
