Stopped raining! I took it for a short cruise to test the repair to the rear of the chassis, I also added some other curved supports at the top rear bar behind the seats to hopefully re-enforce/transfer the load from the shocks. I put a new set of Harley (sportster) shocks I got in a trade on the rear to see how they perform-seems cushy with good stability when turning hard. Time/abuse will tell! The nerf bars definitely made the whole buggy seem more solid. I'll shoot some video of my daughter running it thru the paces for confirmation of not bottoming out or lifting of the rear wheels and stability of the rear fenders.
