New guy here from Missouri

Hi all I'm new to the mud mower world but a veteran of the off road world. I have owned and operated a custom off road fab shop for 20 years (Heartland Off-Road) and have turned out allot of incredible builds. A few of my buddies and I have been looking for a new thing to tinker with that is a little lower budget and stumbled across off road mowers and I am seeing a ton of potential to really makes some cool toys.

Welcome aboard sir fire up some pics when you can man - I'm always lookin for inspiration the US off road scene fascinates me, I've the youtube flat out watching off road videos at the moment lol

look up anything KOH 2016 That should get you excited.

yep, that does the job lol, seems to be a lot of ultra4 cars? doing that? very capable machines for sure

Here is a pic of one of my complete builds.

Welcome. Nice looking machine. But now thinking of that winch line hooked to the axle is going to bother me all day...lol

Thank you. Why should that bother you?

Wow, thats pretty neat. I keep up on madram/bkf/ hardlinecrawlers alot. Maybe some day i could build one of them, just so cool.

Thanks for joining!

Thank you!!

Matt from Madram is a friend of mine super nice guy. If we can get enough cool mowers together at one of the races I'm sure he would give us some exposure.

Matt is one of the folks who shared the video of me and creepycrawler rock crawling our mowers. (That the guy from jeeps.with attitude rook without permission)

Welcome!

Yes Mr modified, why does that bother you?

Most rigs like that and even a little less built than that run suck down winches front and rear.

They are used to keep the suspension loaded on other thins

Welcome to the Site, cant wait to see what you come up with. Id love to get to wheel with ya some day

I think matt is bustedknuckle films, and cole is madram11.

Thanks for the welcoming guys.

I am collecting parts for a really cool build. I am really busy in the shop but I am hoping to get enough parts and time to get into the build off.

I'm embarrassed Redlinemotorsportts You are 100% correct Matt is BKF and Cole is Madram. Matt wouldn't be happy with me either (Matt and Cole are friends). It's been a long day and the beer is tasting good.

No problamo amigo, Dont be afraid to ask questions on a build. Cant wait to see what you come up with.

I didn't know a lot of people do that. Isn't it hard on the winch? When the suspension comes back up wouldn't it yank on it pretty hard? Maybe not all the time, but depending on the terrain.

Most of the time it is loose enough to not yank it. You only use it when you get into a spot that the suspension is unloading and to much weight is transferring to the rear of the car and the front gets light. You can pull a little tension on the winch to bring some of that weight back on the front of the car and regain stability. This car has a winch that works in the same manner in the rear as well.

Didnt you do the cage on a white Bronco 2

Yes I sure did build a exo cage on one.

Nice build welcome.
