A few weeks ago while I was out riding my Outlander, I had the misfortune of hitting a rock in the middle of a road. For some reason I thought the ground clearance was enough to clear it but I was wrong. The result was a nasty dent in the front of my frame. While looking online for how to fix it or at least make the frame stronger, I came across All Terrain Research. They make a Chassis Spine for the Outlander/Outlander Max and the Renegade. The install looks easy as the frame is hollow and the spine will insert through the back of the atv. In the future I plan on getting one of these spines and doing a full review. Click on the pictures after the jump, they will take you to their site.
