ORS's new rock buggy build

ORS’s New Rock Buggy Build

We are starting with a clean slate. Building a full tube frame, custom rock buggy. We haven’t started too much work on it yet, but the plans for this rig are pretty wicked.

We haven’t come up with a name for it yet, but that will come with time!

The tube chassis will be 1.75” and 1.5” DOM tubing
Some of the drivetrain will be from Baby, our last build.
-Dual Toy T-cases
-Diamond Axle Front based on FJ80 parts
-T-100 Rear Axle with full float
-5.29’s and ARB’s
New Drivetrain Additions
-2UZ-FE V8 from the Tundra
-Tundra A340 Auto Transmission
It will be a 4 seater
4-link front and rear suspension with 17” Bilstein coilovers
42” TSLs (47”s later on - with some other mods like axles)

Through the efforts of this build we are hoping to bring a new vehicle to the market.

We will post updates with pictures and specs throughout the build
