So Cal Suspension Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Not a chance in hell. You don't want to be responsible for him dying. A banshee is 380lbs, and people bend arms all the time. Double the weight, and there's no way it's going to hold up to any real abuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickerg1 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 What about finding some off a vw dune buggy from back in the day. Or find a way to make jeep wrangler parts work. Think automotive instead of motorsports imo to withstand the abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
