    My buddy Matt is getting a tub from the D&L offroad place. The guy was making a trip up to Indianapolis this past weekend but had to cancel at the last minute because his father passed away. They told Matt that they would reschedule ASAP. I know he was bringing up a few tubs for others in the area as well.

    So if your in the Indy/midwest area and need one of these tubs I suggest calling the place. I think he was only charging something like $150 to bring them up.

    a stock seat will not fit just looking .for the reason no leg room plus seat would sit 4 to 5 inches higher if you put it up on the deck. i do know that a stock roll cage is 5 inches to short and 2.5 inches to wide. i am going to have one built locally.i am going to build a seat to fit in there on hinges so i can get into the tool box that i am going to cut into it . so the seat will hinges as the top to the tool box. but just remember they do have the standard tub, i got my for just one reason to build it for the race track.

    what i mean by short should have stated the the deck height is 5 inches shorter so you need to make roll bar 5 inches higher to be level with top

    I just talked with Ron and he said they have one with seats on the side, I don't know if he meant the wheel wells or not.

    i cant recall seeing it when i was down there. i think my biggest problem with the back seat will be the back.i would like to make it temp. so i could take it in and out but the bottom cushion will be always there and hinged. very seldom will i have 3 people in it at the race track. so this body is perfect for cynfl to push sprints on asphalt or dirt

    I want to thank Dennis and Tom for all the great info and letting us all in on this tub deal...without you guys my baby would be tubless. God bless Don for he is in a better place and our prayers are with Ron through these hard times.
