    i like the baby seat anchors because it gives me something to tie things down to in the back when im karting around spare tires and things like that...

    im gonna build a large platform and rhinoline mine so that i can just throw stuff back there and i dont have to worry about my dog dirtying stuff up...

    That's a greayt idea! I've been using a bolt with a wing nut for my quick release seat option. I'll be switching over tomorrow!

    I used the removable pin tip about a year ago, when I first saw it.
    The pins are a perfect dia. easy to use, I might silacone the bushings in to keep them in place, but with two kids, I never get to take it out

    almost a year since this has been updated......

    I am about to do this quick mod to my VX and had a question.

    Is there any concern about lack of strength when swapping these pins?

    Those pins should be plenty strong. Most of the strength (in case of an accident) comes from the rear latch anyway. The front is primarily for stabalization & the hinge.

    Since the quick-pins are the same diameter as the OEM pins, there shouldn't be any loss of strength. But yeah, I have had those pins in there for more than 3 years with no issue.
