thats a 10-4 on the bar new guy..and BTW the way they have it mount is a bit weak but if you add 2 more bolts on the sides (i just welded it on) it gives the bar MUCH more strength, but either way i pushed a tree about 3''-4'' in diameter over last weekend and the bar took it like a champ..it does a really good job of protecting the front of the cart...and the 2 battery setup is for all the elctronics...the second smaller battery runs the radio, headlights, backup lights, and winch, and then i have a switch mounted in there (not shown in the pic) so that i can switch the power supply to the winch from the secondary battery back over to the main battery so that if say i needed to winch at night and didnt want to kill the small battery with my winch (the small battery gets charged separately and is NOT charged by the cart) and i didnt want to loose my lights i could kick the cart in neutral and rev it up while im winching so that the main battery stays charged while winching.....sounds complicated, really not all that much...either way it works flawlessly....thanks for the interest
