Status: offline 		now you have to take your 2x6x8 p.t. board and rip it down to 3 7/8" and plane it down to 1 3/8" and router the 4 long edges. you can leave it 8 foot for now

Status: offline 		sorry forgot to take a pic of this step. you can use the piece of wood that you cut off or something else if that piece of wood isn't going to cut it. like a piece of steel that is close to the size of the board or smaller, not bigger because it will mess up the frame.

and use that to recess the wood into the frame, allmost to the most front a-arm mount, you can tell by tapping a wrench against the frame and the noise is different where the wood is.

then you can weld a plate back or leave it open like i did and then put it back together

it is the strongest and lightest thing you can do to a can-am renegade or outlander frame for under $20

I just did the same modification to my renegade this past weekend, but used metal.  Very easy mod and great protection if you ride them hard.

Status: offline 		yes wood. they don't make a piece or pieces of metal the right measurements the wood is easily moldable, and is lighter, and will let the frame twist a little bit more  than steel will

Status: offline 		it not that your building a bullet proof frame, you could i guess put solid steel in the frame and add 80 lbs and that would be stronger. all the wood does is reiforces the frame the frame cannot dent in on itself witch is the cause of most to all frame failures. and is still ligther and cheaper than the steel mod. i don't want to debat what's better. this is what i did because of other people's recomendation

and i don't no why i would ever want to take it out, after all it the frame that has zero warrenty on it. sounds weird if i went in to the dealer for a blown motor and he said the motor warrenty was voided because the frame is stronger than stock specs. lol

Status: offline 		You can rip a 2x6 with a circular saw (or hand saw even) to width.  And you can block plane (by hand) or use a belt sander to achieve the desired thickness.  That's how they used to build houses back before there were power tools!

Three 1.25 x 1.25 16 guage 52 1/4 long square tubes welded side by side fit perfectly.
