You could get a custom cab made. Or get out the concrete saw and lower the floor. Or raise the foundations. Or build a new shop.

Problem solved! Buy the cab, show the wife it doesnt fit in the garage, now you can build that dream shop!

First world problems.

2 solutions : or i get a customized cam or i use the backhoe to lower entrance level. a underground concrete garage is too expensive to rebuild!

Re: bx23s limided height garage door

Depending on the orientation of your garage roof, you could cut and raise the header and install a taller overhead door (if the roof orientation isn't at 90 degrees to the existing door opening or.... You could install a new door in one end if the wall is oblique to the roof pitch.

or... You could do what I did and erect a ClearSpan truss arch building. Mine has a 14 foot gable end overhead door and the building is 43 feet wide x 100 feet long and 16.5 feet to the highest point. Cost me about 7 grand back when I bought it and my wife and I erected it ourselves. I can drive a loaded tractor trailer in and park it if need be.

Re: bx23s limided height garage door

Jon Ritter has a YouTube channel and is pretty responsive to questions. I asked how much lower the ***8220;Factory***8221; cab is on a BX23S, and he took a pic with a tape measure. If I remeber correctly, its around 6***8221; under ROPS bar.

I asked because I lopped 4***8221; off my ROPS to clear my 7***8217; overhead door.

Hmm. yeah I found out you NEED 88" to CLEAR....
There is a post 'somewhere on here' of a guy in NB or NS that made a BX25 cab,great pictures ! He now has BX23s, same as us... Hopefully you can search and find it, contact him,see how tall his is/was.
I don't know why the ROPS is so tall and WHY don't ATVs have them, far more dangerous than a SCTLB !
