Re: How are you getting over the 4" bump?
Our frame's extruded aluminum (30x30 hand cut and welded). We toyed with a mechanized skid plate, treads, etc. In the end, one of the mentors and a student came up with the idea of putting angled braces on wither side of the front wheels.
Top view: BBBBBBBRACE Wheel BBBBBBBRACE Side view: (W=wheel) Frame WBrace WBrace WBrace WBrace The first wheel goes up, the skid braces hit and get you up then the rest of the 8 wheel drive takes over. Makes for a bumpy ride but in the end, it works. However you attach it, make sure they've got good welds/attachments and something like teflon on them to make things easier. |
