sorry for delay in replying he needs to stay in his chair,
i would like to make the offroader so he can drive maybe dual control i have been looking into fitting a winch to the top of the role cage with an arm that swings out to lift his chair and him into the passenger side.
or a ramp at the back but then you have to get the chair into a position where he could drive.
am i barking mad and heading in totally the wrong direction if you have any better ideas let me know

the door opening wouldnt be wide enough and the roof would have to be removed if you intended to put a person in the wheel chair
