A pillar ID 1.6480. OD 1.7775.
B pillar ID 1.5730 OD 1.7750. Those taken with my cheap 30.00 digital caliper so take it for what it's worth. It's served me well in the past so I trust it.

Sorry I no longer have my rear section. Except the one I'm building currently lol.

I have to chop my cage for clearance. I want to leave the front but drop the back and remove the rear ROP bars and add a large gusset to the back (no rear passengers). What's the correct method of leaving the front but dropping the rear? I have some ideas but wanted to know what others have done. (I'm still going through this rediculously awesome thread)

Finally chopped it, wish I would've done it a long time ago. Had 4 inches taken out. Glad I didn't go more or getting the SATV window cut down would have been even more of a b**ch!

Man. That’s a badass looking buggy!!!! Great work.

 

[Delton]

If someone is just needing a couple inches clearance, a flat roof is an easy mod. 1/8" aluminum will run you around 200 for a 5x8 sheet. I welded tabs to rops and used 3/8 buttonhead bolts with 1/4" rubber washers. Lower and quiet as a mouse plus tough as hell.

Can't get any lower than that.

Or a 1/4” x 4x8’ sheet of hdpe is $60 at menards. If I were doing it over that’s what I would have done.

2.5/3/3.

4” all the way around

I just finished chopping mine 4, 4.5, and 5 and cutting the super ATV windshield 3-7/8" and installed a wfosxs aluminum handle .
I still need to get more tube and put in harness mounts then it may get red or gray truck bed liner on the cage.

Looks great. I would like to do something like that with mine but I do not know how to weld. And I don’t want to spend the $$for someone else to do it.

Looks good!!! 👍
I still have to post my chop

 

[Shelly]

I meant that for the one above your post lol😆.

Hey all...new guy here, but what's the right amount of chop on a 1000-5 to still be able to sit people in the rear? Chop look is legit but if I can't sit anyone in the back because they smash their dome, it becomes a form vs function debate.

Idk, mine is 4 rear and I sit back there myself. I’m 6-1”. And have speakers at back.
Chopped more in nose to give it a rake to get under stuff and to keep pool of water on roof dry.
