[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 47188, member: 1582"] I was surprised with the legs myself, sat there for a day trying to come up with leg options and everything I tried was either too hard to construct easily, or felt unstable. When I tried the back legs in the current config, I was impressed with lightweight and stability. I wasn't going to use the same for front legs but then thought why not try and see how they pan out. I wanted the legs to come forward and out to have maximum stability......very difficult to design a leg set up to have that kind of stance and be easily dismantled, pvc pipe obviously works but not quite as rigid. Anyway the addition of the occy straps putting tension on the legs keeps them forward....sturdy etc with the ability to smoothly rock the higbanker if required, legs arent stiff if you know what I mean. Just bought a petrol pump today (cheapie on ebay) so getting closer to completing "the beast" [/QUOTE]
