Pretty much. I’ve got insurance on the big guy this weekend. Was hoping for a shakedown run and bolt check before getting serious but hasn’t happened. Front Lokka inatallled. Rear wheel wells tubbed, should work ok. Buddy of mine built a couple push pads with tow points so we can stack 3 rigs together bump and run style.

Just need to redrill the pin hole. My hitch is turned 90 degrees so my pin drops in from the top. The JK pictured will do the same when he flush mounts his hitch. Then when on the road or after clearance we can spin them sideways as well.

Now that is a nifty idea.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the push pads. Hopefully they work well. We’ve been talking about how to “attach” rigs together for quite a while and had some overly complex ideas but trying to get something to work with all the different angles and steering conditions when wheeling that have major drawbacks. When pushing on one point the back rig can steer the opposite direction of the front rig so they can be forced to steer instead of pushing the front rig straight off the corner. Found that out by trial and error. And if any ditches come up it’s easy for the back rig to back off and then pick the rig back up. Adding short tow straps helps not leave the push rig behind. Brian Steve and I got pretty good with straping 3 rigs together to maintain movement. Last year on one trip we went about 1.5km with 2 of 3 rigs stuck at all time yet made steady progress.
