Was running about 20mph when the trail had a small wash out, I didnt think it hit that hard but I guess it was hard enough. Also bent the tie rod.

Crazy , I was flying today and came across a wash out also - 2' deep - 2' wide thought I was done , and I didn't even feel it ! Besides the suspension working great , I think the utvinc gusset kit and turnkey tie rods saved it lol

 

[run what u brung]

You cant beat how smooth it is for sure, even when it fell off I didnt feel it I seen the tire going the wrong way. I had the same thing happen on my XP but I did hit a pretty big rock on the XP.

There ain't much holding those a arms in at all. I am building my own custom weld on gussets that will beef that bull$hit up. I can't believe how weak they are stock

why build them when you can buy them from UTV Inc. Some things are not worth making and just buying.

 

[Glamisfan]

I'd rather make my own for a few dollars, then buy them for hundreds of dollars!

You think maybe the tires had anything to do with it?

Im sure the extra size and weight of the tires had alot to do with it.

There is not a gusset out there yet that works with stock winch

 

[run what u brung]

I'm thinking if I can keep my tires on I won't really need a winch...

NC Powersports installed my chassis braces with the stock winch setup.

I hit a tree at the last national and trashed all four front arms, but the chassis brace never moved. This thing is stout. Stronger than the competition.

I got two of em from turnkey and stacked em together.

You don't have to do that with mine. I've removed two damaged Turn Key Chassis braces and made frame repairs. The Turn Key ones don't seem to hold up. The bends in ours are farther from the edge and we use a thicker material.

 

[Benzo]

the utvinc is pretty think 3/16''

 

[SickStick]

How thick is the Turnkey brace? 1/8", 3/16"?

 

[TreavisPoynter]

Turn Key is less than 1/8". Ours is 11 gauge.

 

[Benzo]

11 gauge is 2.3 mm

and 3/16 is 4.7 mm if I did it right , lol

or

3/16 = .1875

and 11 gauge =.1196


and 1/8 = .1275

[TreavisPoynter]

Ill double check Monday. Ours is between 1/8 and 3/16. I'm pretty sure 11 is more than 1/8. Ill post pics of my chassis brace and chassis after I hit a tree hard enough to shatter a wheel bearing and one of the bushings in the a arm.

 

[TreavisPoynter]

Nvm yea 11 gauge .1196. Ill put the calipers on it Monday when I get back.

 

[Benzo]

right on
