Not a problem!

JPop..the Muggy needs the braces - the chassis on it is notorious for bending. From what I know, LST's have a fairly rigid chassis.

Oh ok, I didn't realize the muggy were prone to flexing. Why is that? I know the layout of the chassis us different. Since the LST doesn't really flex, I just figured the muggy didn't either. Learned something there!

The Muggy has a flat truggy chassis (hence the name = part MT, part truggy) that bends very easily. Bracing is a must. I tied the front and rear bulkheads of mine together with a long piece of Al angle - works great.

The muggy doesn't have "good" chassis braces like most other truggies. Hence the need for custom stuff. When I bought the muggy roller, it had this 1/2" x 1/2" STEEL angle running from the front bulk to the back bulkhead!
