[Dennis]

This escalated quickly


Now, it's getting a new motor, transmission, fuel tank, firewall and seat mounts.

This winter the buggy is undergoing a transformation into a rear-steer rig. TG housings with 99-04 Ford outers. Fresh Maxxis Trepadors.

When are the axles going under?

They are under, axle shafts are here, thirds have been rebuilt and installed. Just waiting for the steering cylinders, then all welding will be done and it can be a roller.

Looking good!

Where did the LIKE button go?

Those axles are pretty beefy. Looks good!

Built the ram mounts. Front and rear are basically the same, but rear is 3x9 ram and front is 2.5x10

 

[Dennis]

Rebuilt the rear shock mounts, the old ones were too high, with lower mounts being too tall. Still have to build a crossbrace to tie the towers together.

 

[Dennis]

The rear of the frame had to be notched to clear the ram at full bump.

Brakes from Branik came in, mounted on JHF brackets.

 

[Dr Smash]

I really like all the tuning your doing here. The brakes are awesome.
