Yes! Exactly what im wanting to do. Mid engine awd. I just want to go ifs/irs with one
What chassis is this
Brittney Mason a good way to built a chassis for a rat too
Congrats to Bret Gilkey on not only his first place at this weekends WeRock #4 but for clinching the title being first in points for the season in his BFR EVO2 EX chassis setup on JHF portals!
If everyone thought these BFR buggies were hard to deal with this year.. wait till we have a bunch of CK1 chassis's out there next year. Smaller, lighter, more nimble, designed with portals in mind, they have every trick I've learned in 21 years of rock crawling designed into the chassis.. they will dominate the rocks!
If your ready to join the BFR family, lets talk about your next rig. Tim@BentFabrications.com

That’s rad dude
Engine mounts will be interesting. Suspended cradle maybe?
Bent Fabrication can we drop the engine from above? Planning on hard mounting the engine with a plate out back (from Ruffstuff) and using the block mounts as well. Then going below the engine for a pan skid plate. Doable?

That one bad lookin sumbich
Joshua Rollason
Fun fact. If you played along in yesterday's guessing game of how each piece was cut, either water jet, CNC laser, CNC plasma table, or hand plasma torch... The answer is that every piece there was cut on a CNC plasma table. (From different shops)
.
Yes, all of them were CNC cut, from a .dxf file by a robot... With the new age of fabrication becoming so dependant on "CNC" this and "CNC" that.. people tend to think it's all just easy. IT'S NOT! You'll quickly learn that just because you have the program or equipment, doesn't mean you'll be successful still. There is a huge difference in the product you can receive. Programs are only as good as the programmer and operator, and a CNC plasma table can produce outstanding results with the right operator.. just like your welder. Think about it, lots of people have welders, but just because you have a bitchin cool TIG setup doesn't mean you'll lay down a weld like @frankfleurquin or @dabswellington .. same with any other machine out there. Sure, consumables and equipment play a roll, but it's the man running it that makes the part.
.
It's fun to see how many people thought the first two tabs were waterjet or laser, when in fact the first two tabs were cut for me by @nalinmfg on his dialed in Bulltear plasma table. I had a quote back to me in less than 30 min, and parts cut and in the mail by the next day. Outstanding company to deal with putting out a product on par with laser quality. You'd be surprised what can easily be shipped with great service vs what you might be getting from your local shops.

Thanks Tim
My laser shop is the best. Ships from 300 miles away to my customers anywhere. Better prices than where I live.
NalinMFG does great work and at a very fair price. Best looking plasma cut parts out there IMO.

Andrew Nalin FTW
Let's play a fun game.. What process was used to cut each tab? Waterjet, laser, or plasma table, hand plasma torch?

I rarely use that fixing bolt up front, mine's been broken off in the die for years. I've found it fine to take up all the slack in the assembly and make sure the tube I'm bending starts at the contact point on the die. Are there any applications where you find that forward fixing bolt to be more useful?

This tool, and this particular bend, is the foundation in which I grew a business that's been strong for close to 20 years. It's unbelievable how much tube has passed through this @jdsquaredinc Model 3 Bender. It's repeatability and dependability have continued to make our products kick ass for all these years.

Are you serious about crawling?
.
The CK1 (overlaid in blue), although very similar in overall size to the Cliffhanger, is meant for the truly hard core crawlers out there. The differences are subtle, but will play a big part in helping you dominate the competition. The subframe is shaped specifically for front engine designs and will hold your LS, as the concept for this chassis is to fit into the new trail class. A front engine, 2 seat, rear steer class in rock crawling events introduced this year. With that in mind, the limits were pushed to maximize potential, I raised the rub rail of the chassis for more clearance in the rocks, as well as brought the front tube work up 4” to accommodate the axle location when running portal axles and extremely high steering setups. The foot well remains wide enough to be comfortable on the trails, but is also raised up for clearance, and narrows down even farther than the Cliffhanger as the chassis slides to the back of the seats. The cockpit is slightly smaller, but the seat angle is reclined just a touch more. The front shock is designed to ride on the lower part of the portal C, allowing it to be mounted down on the chassis 3” lower for maximum visibility in the front (shock brackets can locate the shocks up for standard axles easily though). The added C pillar or double B, aids in safety for those lines that failure can have catastrophic results. The top windshield tube is moved to the top plane of the roof to aid in visibility to plan your attack looking up to the obstacle ahead. The price is a little higher because simply put, it has features that just aren’t in any other chassis’s out there. It is the evolution of the sport, for those that are truly ready to push the limits.

I had the pleasure of following one of your chassis all day today. It works very well. Nice job on the geometry.
2 chassis’s to choose from, but which one is the right choice? Lets compare the 2 options to help you decide looking at the Cliffhanger overlaid in silver first.
.
The Cliffhanger is going to be the go to choice for universal appeal. First off, its price point at $2350 for the base chassis should allow anyone out there with the fab skills needed to complete a rig get into a platform that looks great and has all the hard work already done. From the bottom up, the subframe is the same width front and rear, allowing the engine to be centered for pass and driver drop transfer cases that can clock mostly flat, and will allow people to set these up rear engine if desired. The rub rail is more of a standard layout, but does narrow in from the front of the seat to the back giving you a little more clearance right where it's needed, but still allowing the +2 seats to fit. The single B-Pillar is moved back just a little more to give that little extra room for the big guys too. The unique front shock hoop that gives the chassis its name makes setting up standard 14” shocks right on top of the axle a breeze while allowing axles as narrow as stock Toyota’s at 57.5” WMS work just fine, yet be just as comfortable with your full width 1 ton axles. In the rear, a 16” shock will mount directly on the axle or on trailing arms for those wanting to get to the rocks faster. The top is extended back just a few inches to give those bigger guys just a touch more room as well. The bent windshield tube gives the chassis style to match the front shock hoop while the front is designed to fit your V8, so of course it will fit your smaller V6 and 4 cylinders easily, even your big long 4.0 will set right in there.

Meet Harry. He measures 37.5" from his head to his butt in the seated position and can give you an idea of how you might fit in a new Cliffhanger chassis! Seeing the chassis with some 39" BFGs and a driver really helps us see the overall scale of the chassis. It's roomy but not too big, it's overall size is smaller than most buggy's out there, but not too small.. I think most people are going to find it the perfect fit for themselves and their components.
.
If your like Harry, and your dreaming of where a Cliffhanger could take you.. go check them out at www.BentFabChassis.com. $2350 gets you into the base kit, with additional bracing options available, suspension brackets, and more.

Looking for a better solution to mount your TH350 or 4l60e/700r4 to an Atlas or D300 transfercase?
.
These mounts are designed to hang your transmission from the seat structure in our chassis kits, but will work on most buggy's, giving you flexible mounting options from above, below, or both. These work with the TH350 4x4 output shaft that sticks out 7/8" from the case. They are the shortest adapter possible to keep your setup tight, and clock the Atlas flat.
.
I'm about to do another run of these. Price is $295 each. DM or email Tim@BentFabrications.com to let me know you'd like one. (We also have one for the TH400 & 4l80e)

#BFR #bentfabrications #innovation #atlas
Things have come a long way from the early days of drafting side views of chassis's on graph paper. Being able to overlay designs allows us to keep elements that are proven to work and refine areas based on sales data, customer feedback, and real world experience in the rocks. Sure, these look great in digital form, just like any arbitrary design does. However, its that real world feedback as each design evolves that ensures each chassis is actually a better option than the last.
I've got one of our new Cliffhanger diy kits in blue overlaying a Grunt that people are familiar with for comparison to study what's different, and what's the same. You can see that overall, its very close in size. The chassis is small enough to work with 35" tires and shorter wheel bases on smaller axle widths, yet is just as comfortable set up with 42's and full width axles. An LS is proportionally big to the chassis, yet since it was designed around the LS from the beginning, it fits great, which leaves plenty of room when setting up smaller combinations as well. The "cab space" on the Grunt fits a normal person well with the seat setting close to the B-pillar in the chassis, however sales show that the average person buying them is over 6' and setting the seat in line with the C-pillar. This makes a customer over 6' (under 6'5") fit well, however their head ends up beside the B-pillar. So on the new Cliffhanger kit, we extended the roof just a touch, eleminated the B pillar completely making the C-pillar the new B, then stood the B-pillar up a bit. This enures our average customer that buys a chassis fits as well as their parts.
EVO stands for Evolution.. and that's what every new chassis is all about. It truely is evolved design, each better than the last, each pushing the boundaries of what the sport is. If your planning a new buggy, these kits are not just another chassis, it's the better option.

What better way to celebrate 10 years of production chassis work than a tribute to the original chassis that started it all as a DIY kit you can build at home.
.
The 2019 Cliffhanger adds new style to the classic front shape of the original Cliffhanger. Years of experience have this little chassis dialed in with room to be comfortable on the trails all day while keeping the overall package small. It's the perfect platform for those looking to get into a good looking buggy with a tight budget!
.
The base chassis at just $2350 will give you a foundation you know your parts will fit in and have the style your after, while staying flexible enough to be set up any way you'd like, front engine or rear.
.
If your planning on setting it up front engine and want all the straight bracing figured out for you ready to weld in.. then consider adding our brace pack that is shaped to allow your LS based small block to slide right in and take advantage of laser cut brackets for accessories and tinwork that will be available soon!
.
The rear is left open in base form to accommodate trailing arms for those that want to get there fast and build around the suspension (or rear engine applications), or if your building a simple trail rig with shocks planned to be directly on the axles, you can take advantage of our trail bed option.
.
Speaking of suspension. Brackets for the chassis are designed around common aftermarket trusses and come with support in setting up your axles for performance you can count on.

I see 4x JHF portal Cs and boxes!
What's all this JHF stuff.

People are quick to ask numbers, and a great design can make those numbers mean nothing.

Dimensions are tricky on the CK1 chassis. It's wide enough for fat boy seats to have room between the shoulders, yet only 48" wide at the rub rails at the back of the seat where clearance matters. The chassis is wider from the front edge of the seat to the foot well in the lower C so your feet arent cramped even beside a V8, it's also raised up so the width doesn't effect clearance on the rocks. The dash is 2" narrower than the shoulder width so your perspective doesn't make the cowl look wide, the hood angle is based on your line of sight. The sheet metal for the firewall is based on seeing the driver and passenger front tires. The front of the chassis is engineered around how your headers need to flow, the rails are moved up to clear portals a d even the highest steering setups to be out of the rocks, the subframe shape helps eliminate hang hangups... It's truely a new generation of design work to push the sport.
.
If you think the CK1 is right for you, contact me with your questions and let's get you in one. We are taking order now at $2995.00 for the flat pack kit you build yourself. DM or Tim@Bentfabrications.com for info.

Bret Gilkey has an EVO2 EX that has been through a few changes including originally setting it up with a Toyota V8 to an LS swap, stubbing the rear to the length of the EVO3, and upgrading to a set of JHF portals. Lots of the design ideas put into the new CK1 are directly from feedback and working with guys like Bret. You can obviously see how the 4" of lift from the portals changed the height, even when controlling it some with a sacrifice of up travel, which is one of the main things we address in the CK1 kits. He's still out there killing it with a killer BFR car and doing awesome at SuperCrawl this weekend. It's hard to miss the style in every BFR car out there.
If your ready to get into the crawling scene, you need to take a look at the new CK1 chassis kits.

Still wondering if a BFR chassis is right for you? If you've never watched a BFR rig in action, check out Fletcher Frank in his EVO3 Grunt in the trail buggy rear steer class at SuperCrawl. Our new CK1 chassis kit is designed to absolutely dominate this class. While still being a killer trail buggy as well.

Tim, the radiator is meant to go at an incline facing up behind the seats?

I've gathered a few photos to try to put a perspective on size on the new CK1 chassis. Overall, this is going to be the size of the Grunt with the interior space of the existing EVO3 we have been building, which is going to fit most of the people interested. The EVO3R has been redesigned with a touch more room and will be the option for clients that are over say 6'5".
In comparison to the Grunt, I have changed the angle of the seat by setting it lower in the rear, the floor height will now be higher by about 2" at the pedals and the changed angle of the A pillar lets your foot be just a touch more foreword. This adds clearance while keeping the foot wells bigger for comfort. All of my taller guys that have their heads beside the B-pillar tubes in the Grunt will be in front of the B completely in the CK1. With the tube subframe, the seat can be set up lower in the chassis, especially for the guys that build a smaller engine combo with a D300. Careful seat selection will allow someone 6'5" to be tight but fit within comp rules. Again, if your bigger than that, we really need to put you in the new EVO3R that will be released soon. For the rest of us, your suspension seat of choice will fit fine and you'll be super comfy.
These pics should help visualize the size differences in the chassis between some of the current buggies your seeing out there. It's meant to be small and agile. It's meant to be competitive. I'm not going to call it tiny, but its smaller than you probably think with every trick I know thrown in for comfort.
I have 6 pages of names so far tracking who I've talked too. Please DM me if your interested in info or we haven't spoken yet, I didn't reply. Its been pretty chaotic and I didn't get to talk to each of you much, so If you have questions, please ask. I'll be working out some shipping info later today for those ready to get in on this.
I love it! Extremely well thought out design!

Are you guys ready for the next generation of chassis design?
.
The new Canyon Killer chassis, or CK1, is our first CNC builder kit you can assemble yourself. It's a brand new 2 seat, front engine design that caters to portal axles and rear steer. Set up to handle an LQ9 with truck intake, 4l80e, and Atlas combo, it has room for most engine combinations
.
Overall size is very close to our most popular tiny chassis ever, the Grunt. However, laser processed tubework and CNC bending means I could put some radical ideas into the chassis design that gives a little extra room in all the places you need for comfort while narrowing down to give extra clearance in places that matter most in the rocks. If your looking for a chassis that's small enough to be a competitive crawler, yet still have room to be comfortable all day on the trail, this is what you've been waiting for.
I've got some promotional pricing for the first few out the door, DM for info on how to get in on the first run and pricing that's too good to post. The first promotion run will include all the tube work and bracing shown as well as support setting up your suspension geometry on portals or standard axles with additional brackets available from me as well as lots more options coming soon.

It's not often that I take on a project outside of the offroad world or even outside of full on chassis work. But when a customer calls and says he has an all fiberglass limited production British car with a full tube chassis and is looking for someone that can put a V8 in it.. well, I'm your guy! 1950lbs of British TVR coolness with a touch of BFR coming to a street near you soon!

I did a 60's jaguar race car a few years back I had to replicate the factory chassis. I was kind of blown away by how bad the factory tube work looked. How much craftsmanship went into the TVR?
Sweet. You don't see many TVR's anymore. Cant wait to see how it turns out.
These reworked classics go for a bloody fortune on the other side of pond.
The new 2019 EVO2 EXR..
A refined roof line and minor tweaks to the dimensions and it's the sweetest EVO2 yet.
Options that make getting it finished out super easy, like the sheet metal front end pictured, let you order from Summit on Thursday and bolt your parts in on Saturday with the rest of the weekend left to drink beer instead of trying to fab up brackets all night.. after all, a project on jackstands isn't nearly as fun as getting back to raising hell in the woods.

The original #RZRKILLER is now over 10 years old and it's absolutely crazy how many people still ask about this chassis. Smaller than a RZR1000 with 35" tires on Toyota axles pushed around by a healthy 3.4 V6 from a Camaro, it truely was a RZR killer when it was built. But times have changed right? The performance of side by sides have made a serious jump since then. Can we still build small buggies that are RZRKILLERS? Absolutely.
Contact Tim@Bentfabrications.com and ask about the RZRKILLER2.0 if your ready for something better.

TBH sure SxS’s have made a major leap but I think a grunt with a Toyota or Suzuki drivetrain and a good set of 33-35’s will do 99% of what the new stuff is doing
What’s the weight on the rzr killer?
Would love a setup like this with lil more power 😍

I was scouring the internet trying to find a chassis that was different than all the rest on the market and i ran across this car. I was sold when i found it. Tim has been wonderful to work with. He will build as much or as little as you want or as your budget can afford. His input after receiving the chassis has been invaluable. He is very responsive to any questions you might have. Cant wait to get mine out on the trail. 5 months from a bare chassis to a completed car.
Shop life..
I wish these were in stock and ready to ship, however they are just part of the list getting knocked out. These little Grunt shells are so universal, you never know how they will get built. From an all tube chassis for ultra small drivetrain, to mounted on the EVO frame platform, set up on an OE frame, even setup as a RZR platform... Waite till you see what happens to these!

This was the first project with my Mittler Bros Machine & Tool beadroller in 2012. What a difference a little formwork can make to bring the tinwork to life! Setting up the rear radiator low in the chassis has it's challenges, but I think the low profile scoops turned out pretty trick.

Sheet metal can be fun to work with, but patience is key. If you rush it, IT WILL SHOW! Your final panel will never be better than your template, so until your happy with your template, don't even think about trying with the tins.

I was just thinking about this. I’d love to talk after this season about a “comp” car.
I have a set of 9” with hummer portals 😁 would be a great idea 👊👊👊
Love that front end! I will have one of your chassis one day

Remember the good times you had jumping in an old truck piled up 3 deep in the front seat... Have you ever thought about putting a bench in your buggy?
What can we build for you?

A lot of work goes into these creations and when they leave, you tend to miss them. Here's a little #TBT showing some sweet tinwork and one of our adjustable column kits!

Looks great Tim! But one thing that scares me is the open header like that. May burn someone’s leg if they aren’t wearing heavy duty pants.
Great work.

Does this offer include us that bought your chassis second or third hand? I now have a evo 2 coupe that has changed hands 4 or 5 times
One of the things that absolutely sets my chassis line apart from the rest is serviceability from the bottom.
To make things super easy to work with, I always try to mount the transmissions from the top in a hanging mount from the seat structure, this allows you to pull the skidplate and get to everything easily. I've tried and modified pretty much every adapter out there and decided it was time to draw up one that would make life easy instead of all the cutting and redrilling. This design allows a simple bushing style mount to bolt in centered to the adapter setting close to the transfer case top specifically for how they set up in our chassis line. If your hanging them between the seats in your own chassis or one of mine, this is what your after. I also put in some provisions at the bottom to build your own style mount or crossmember.
Yes it looks like the adapter that Geiser Brothers and 74Weld are making, yes its 7075 aluminum, yes it bolts to a TH400, yes it bolts to an Atlas, no it is not the same as those other mounts... I specifically made changes to address issues the other adapters have running them in my chassis line in the angle the case sets and how the bracket will see stress with the additional rubber mount when not hard mounted.
The first one I'm focusing on will be the TH400 to Atlas. It mocks the original hanging orientation of the factory 6 bolt pattern on OE tailhousings, so you will need to spec the Atlas to clock flat with AA if you need it to do so.
If we can put a run of those together, I'll draw up the same style for the TH350 / 700r4 / 4l60e. Models are out for pricing, so more on that as soon as I know.
Let me know if your interested and I'll try to put together a group buy.
I'll see if I can get a TH350 adapter in here to get that one modeled up pretty soon.
for you guys waiting on the TH350 version.. its drawn up. waiting on pricing now.
For those ready to get in on the first group buy on the TH400 / 4l80e adapters shown. Price is going to be $325 each. Please PM me or email Tim@BentFabrications.com to get in on the first run! I do have a TH350 adapter in the works, pricing should be the same, I'll let you guys know when it's ready for production with a new post.
I’m in for a th400
Jim Overly
Nick Swogger you too far along with your design?
What would they go for I'd be intrested and one for the th 400
Why is the bushing not in line with the adapter? Wouldn’t that allow the transfer case to rock side to side?
Interested in a Th350 setup
I’d be in for a th350 also

Here's something fun!
Our client Enzo Drs likes to Vlog with his French buddies back home as he checks on progress on the newest #bouncerkiller we've been working on here at Bent Fabrications, the #FrenchTickler
He spent a lot of time working with some great companies planning out a killer axle build for us to put together and we thought it was worthy of a simple, raw Vlog to talk about it. Its a crazy tough, and an affordable option that's worth a look! Tell us what you think and look for more raw style Vlogs from the shop in the future.
