G14 front frame bent
 
I am looking for a frame advice or any help with my frame on my g14. My son hit a stump with good a arms spindles and everything the wheelbase on the drivers side is 2-1/2" shorter then passenger side not sure what direction to go now

In that instance, most likely the main frame tube has been bent. Take off the front body/dash/floor mat and wiring. Take it to a frame straightening shop for an estimate. They will need to heat and stretch it back into place. At that point you could weld some steel strengthening supports so it doesn't happen again if so desired.

I hook one end of cart to giant I beam supporting a big roof. I hook the other end to the forklift. I let the inertia of the forklift do the work for me. There are many reasons why this is a bad idea (so you don't need to list them for me), but it has worked for me.

I’ve used big trees and a truck to get race cars back on the track. Not saying it’s the best method but it works in a pinch.
