spotter lines

fastjim11 · 12-25-2006, 09:05 AM

For serious trail riding I have decided to rig a spotter line. Does every one know their function? At least in the case of lifted buggys?

Is that for Buster to get out and pull?

Counter balance! Put a double handle on it, make it adjustable and 20 or 30 ft long. Put the spotter in a position to apply leverage to prevent flipping or turning over.

I plan on using mine to keep the front end down when climbing hills and turning in out of camber situations.

mmm thought about it but i dot see where you could use it alot. be hard to use for hill climbs so really use the real slow off camber crawlin spots would be useful

At least IMO

Had a couple situations last time at coal creek. Clay and I both turned around on a pretty steep hill.

For sure it won't hurt to have it. Both clay's and my cart are lifted pretty good which makes em noticably more top heavy and prone to rolling and flipping. Its a trade of for more ground clearence.

The problem with ground clearence is the diff. Need larger diameter tires.

Bull Joint sounds too much like Moose Nipple to me.
