I started a build up on the this truck some time ago, and did not have the time to keep it up. I am sorry for that. But now the buggy is running and was at a National car show this week end. It took third place. Anyways I don't have any paint on it yet, but it sure is a blast to drive around. I thought I would put it up and see what everyone here thinks of it. Thanks
The Yellow truck is mine also and it took first in the offroad class.

 

sweeeet

 

That is some great tube work on both buggies.
The silver one kind of looks like a show version from Mad Max... I like'em both.

Your tires kind of look like old Mil Spec Humvee tires....

 

They are Humvee tires...very cost effective...and easily replaced

 

is the yellow one IFS?!

 

Yes it is IFS. They are a trail truck, the client I am building these for like the softer ride of the IFS.

 

why?! i know people here get butt-hurt when people diss IFS, and for 4runners that see some wheelin but are most of the time on the road i guess i can understand. but if your building a truggy why the hell would you go with IFS?! who cares about soft ride in a truggy!!! its for OFFROAD USE!!!

 

I am just building what the client wants. These are trail only, and don't need to be overly tuff.

 

those buggys look rly nice man. i like em a lot. personally i think the silver unpainted one looks awesome. i wouldnt even want paint. lol. and its not like theres much to paint.

 

i dont mean to sit here an argue with you, i under stand its what the customer wants..... but "These are trail only, and don't need to be overly tuff" is the biggest oxymoron i've ever heard. the customer is going to be pissed when everything starts breaking cuz your running 35"+ tire on IFS buggy. then now its your fault for building a "poor quality" truck cuz it keeps breaking, when really it has nothgin to do with you, but the IFS

 

I think were having a little issue over the deffinition of the term "trail" here.

I don't think these things are hitting any really hard trails, maybe just out and about from camp or fire roads I'm thinking, maybe desert/sand and the likes. In that case, IFS is probably better for high speed bombing and cruising...

if the bums dont even build their own rigs, they cant be all too serious about it. at least imho. or maybe they are just lazy like me. lol. plus the money to burn of course...

 

What powers it?

 

I must say I personally like this four seater better than the green one before. But as before, you do excellent top notch work.

And for tofer i believe the people who are gonna use these are not wheelers but weekend vactioners that are out site seeing on mild trails, and it's cheeper to fix that ifs than a custom sas if it breaks.

Although birfield upgrades would be a good idea.

 

The people pay for it, the people can decide what they want. It breaks not his fault really.

Your getting into an argument over something stupid, who cares-it aint your truggy now is it?

 

These are getting total chaos Idler Arms, and all new front suspension, ball joints, tie rods, cvs, the works...all wtih Auto Zone...We are keeping extras on the shelf, and replacing what breaks and letting auto zone warrenty the broken parts.

And yes light trail...to the camp ground and back. they will run daily in and out of the camp site.

These are powered by a 22re, with a SS header and a 5 spd. nothing special. just reliable.

Thanks

 

what frame is that?
