    Kenny,

    I can't wait to see your VX in person. You have been on a modding rampage lately. As for the belly armor; lookin' sharp. It looks like it could take on an IED and keep rolling on to kick ***** and take names.

    Oh, and biju......AMEN!

    I doubt they would go into production of this type of thing.
    They actually are a fairly big shop that makes bus chassis and other parts for local industrial shops. I'm small potatoes for what I wanted. I just knew someone who knew them and they agreed to take on my task. (they sort of regret it now since it involved a bunch of knit picky details - the skids weren't bad - you should see my rock sliders I had them make .

    What I'll try to do is get the .dxf (auto cad blueprint) file and email that out to anyone as plans for any local laser cut shop. They will still have to test fit the front clips that tie into where the hook is. That was the only stumbling block I ran into. Again, I was just winging this design - someone who knows better could probably do a much more practical design...

    Thanks.

    oh, and Amen biju!

    Smile DXF File available.

    I finally slapped together an Autocad file.
    email me if you'd like a DWG or DXF file.

    I'd use my plans as a starting point. You never know how truly close construction and setup is between rigs...

    I'd make a cardboard template for a test fit before final fabrication.

    Have fun!






    Cheers!
