    yeah...some of those spots were definitely not vehicle friendly but we made the best of it.

    i've thought about that...the only issue i see is are the atv tires approved for the weight of the wagon?

    I think for Off-Road Purposes, they should be fine.. For on-road purposes, I wouldn't try it..

    haha i meant sliders for the sides...like these

    the only issue with a wagon is we have no "frame" to mount to...so i have to restructure the insides and then mount to the restructured part so i dont rip the body apart lol.
  • DRMORTYDRMORTY Council Member
    Ahhh.. Yeah... That... I was thinking of making a full cradle to go from front wheels to back wheels and all the way across from drivers to passengers.. As to protect the sides and the drive shaft & floor boards.. That would make is easier to mount.. At, least give you a bunch more mount locations.. I am thinking 1.5" Steel Tube.. The same you would use to make a cage.
  • 503Wagon503Wagon moderator
    yeah...you're head is where mine is haha. first step is siders. then i'll move on from there....im just trying to avoid putting a ton of weight on the car until after its turbo'd

    LOL, yahhh... but then you don't have to move fallen trees... you just put ramps up and jump & slide right over them.. LOL
  • 503Wagon503Wagon moderator
    hahaha. i cant wait till i can jump jane...it will be so epic.
  • 503Wagon503Wagon moderator

  • I would think that the ATV wheels would not be good on the wagon, they are meant to be on something that weighs around 600lbs. I've found the wagon weighs anywhere from 2100 to 2600 stock, so no, I wouldn't think that it would be safe at all to run ATV wheels on the wagon.

    I'd say worst case scenario you'd just break the beads.

    Yep.. That is what I am thinking..

    If you where using them on the road, you could overheat the sidewalls and have issues..

    But for off-roading.. Game On..

    If they work, I will definitely have a set of one of my spare sets of RTs..

    Give me a few. Did the rear section tonight. Got the welder all dialed in. I need to remove some seam sealer as well as OEM sound deadening stuff to finish off the rear.
