Put the cart on hold for a little bit. No rush for it. Lots of other projects on the on go that are more urgent. This weekend, I needed to finish my plow install on my beater Jeep Cherokee since we finally got snow and also replace one of the garage door opener. Both turned into a pain in the...

Went out to the shop at lunch for a little more work on the cart. I had noticed my wife's current garden trailer had some bigger wheels and tires with a higher load rating than what I had, so I did a little swap. :D We'll see if she actually notices. These tires are 13x5.00-6 with a 375lb load...

I'm in Ontario Canada. The basic chassis is from Crossed Up Offroad but I've modified it so much, it's really just the outer tubing work that's left of the original chassis. Seeing the 4108 number in your pic, I guessing Smoluk? Here's a pic of my old buggy. I parted it out at the end of 2013...

I still have to fab up the steering linkage and pull bar. I have it figured out in my head. It won't be anything too complicated. Very similar to a gardening cart.

Ok... I realized I did still have a bit of 1" square tubing, so I got a little more done last night.

The pits at rock racing or rock crawling races are always in the dirt so I think there is no choice but make it self propelled. I was initially thinking I could pull it with a little ATV but self propelled would be nicer. I'm open to ideas on this. Using a chinese ATV winch is likely the...

At this point I ran out of 1" tubing so I need to pick more up. Still doing some playing with where to place everything.

On going...

I've been meaning to build a bit cart to support my Ultra4 Offroad buggy for a while now and finally started on it this weekend. I've been working on a new buggy and really needed a little break from working on it. I decided this cart would double as one of my work benches in my shop when not...

I don't think you said it already but what total outside dimensions did you make your pit cart?
