All good stuff coming forward to help you here and some funny comments about the dog too. I personally would like the driveshaft safety hoop mounted towards the front more and incorporating a full hoop which the driveshaft passes through but still has suspension travel space. The safety hoop on my Bucket is made of a light tube which is then bolted to the frame but passed our strict certification laws and means that if the front universal does give up the driveshaft is still retained up of the road.
