onlyinajeep726 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Not sure if this belongs in "Tech" or not, so admins, feel free to move if necessary. I want to be able to haul my Honda Foreman 450 four wheeler in the back of my MJ, but after measuring, I've come to realize that the width of my ATV is about two inches too wide to fit between the wheel wells. I got the wild idea to scoot them over on each side to make this possible. My '86 is SOA lifted, so tire rub isn't a concern. Do y'all think this is a good idea? To give y'all an idea of what I'm thinking, here's a very tedious and detailed visual, created by yours truly, in MS Paint no less haha. :shake: Comments and concerns are welcomed and appreciated.

Tex06 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Lol, like tubbing a hot rod in reverse! I like it! If the tires at full flex won't hit it shouldn't be an issue. I would check for the fuel neck from the gas tank and see if it'll need to be rerouted. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 You could just build a 'ramp' between the wells and drive the front of the quad over them. But otherwise, no, I don't see a reason why you couldn't do it. You might want to make sure you actually have the clearance when flexed before you commit to moving the metal that much.

onlyinajeep726 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 I was planning to flex her out to see about clearance in that regard. I also thought about your suggestion of driving over them, but personal preference, I want the quad to sit level. I also have a 46" mower that I could get in the back if the wheel wells were just a bit further apart, so more motivation for the mod... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can reroute it if necessary. Either change the hose (easier, might be finicky to fill like some flatbed trucks) or fill in the hole in the fender and put it somewhere cool like in the bed or behind the license plate.
