Thanks, but your Patrol already looks good. I think the next set of arms i build will be spring loaded. They will look just like these, but i will have a heavy duty hinge and a spring hidden in the arm. That way if a rock is hit while 4x4ing they will just bend up out of the way and spring back into position. :think:
