that should keep the snow off from you! what did you use ? plywood ? or sheet metal ? Also I was wondering why you didn't have a door on left for emergencies ? cost ?

 

[jb62901]

Cab was made out of two Tonneau truck covers for skin. The door is on the left, didn't do the right because of the joy stick. Guess I could always bail out the windshield, it tilts out.

Very nice. I also was trying to figure out what it was made out of. Very clever and simple design.

Good job, All you need now is a heater.

Did you have to special order the truck covers or you already had it in orange ? Now it makes sense why it looks different. I would say pictures didn't do justice. How did you mount the windows in the cover or did you make the frame for it ? is the cover removable for summer months, I am just trying to figure out the reason you were using the tonnou cover. I think its a job well done and I betcha its pretty lightweight.

Tanneau covers were given to Me (free) The orange worked well with all my other makes. It reacted different on the covers (lighter) may darken in time. Was also able to make sides in one panel and do cut outs. Windows are riveted in (many I might add). Each panel can can be removed by it's self. Total time to remove all panels 10 mi, canopy stays on all the time.

That sounds like what I would prefer for my BX instead of a hard cab. 10 mins to remove panels? thats awesome! that sounds like what BXpanded would do so take it in pride!

jb62901,
I have to admit it's very impressive and I echo radioman's comments. Just wish I had the time, resources and smarts to do that for my baby bota.

Like some others, I don't have what it takesd to do something like that, you should be proud. Does anyone offer a cab for the BX series?

 

[jb62901]

Smarts! You forgot who built it. Resources It's all over the place, just have to look. Time 15 hrs on a weekend, we can screw off more hrs than that on a weekend. Tools Sawsall & Jigsaw no welding. Money Less than $100 thinking around $80 is more like it. Guys winter is just around the corner. I'm 25 miles in from Lake Mi St Joseph and boy do We catchet when it comes off the lake

Man, that is a nice cab; hate to even think what it would cost though; may just have to get some 2x4's and Saran wrap.
