My buggy rebuild

I traded my old truggy for a all tube buggy with yota drivetrain because I get bored easily and wanted something light instead of continue building on the truggy. The buggy has some shaddy fab like the truggy did but this has a ton of potential.

The bad-
- Tractor heims and cheap links
- rear links to long
- wiring
-plastic racing seats
-a few crappy welds
-carrier bearing jerry rigged
-needs new rear driveshaft
-booty fabbed axle brackets
specs
-mini truck front axle with 410's , detroit, longfields, chromo hub gears
-IFS rear with disk brakes
- 22r on propane
-w56?
-dual cases stock gears
- full 1.5 dom chassis
- flat belly
- two master cylinders
- wilwood clutch master cylinder
- walker evans air shocks
-stazworks recentered hummer wheels on 38.5 TSL/sx

parts ordered/have
- davez offroad twin sticks
- prp premier high backs +4 height
- longfield tcase output
- Arp knuckle and hub studs
- axle seals/etc
- Heims
- hendrix carrier bearing

future plans
-Maybe axle regear (4.88's)
-TURBO

Next month I'm taking it to jimmy at Essentially offroad and he is redoing all of the link mounts, axle mounts, and trusses front and rear. It's also getting all aluminum links with proper heims. The entire suspension will be readone basically. Along with different door bars , putting in prp's, making a full custom center console to keep heat down, a new hood(mine blew off on interstate) , and making a fully belly skid that covers from oilpan to tcase, and possible a firewall.

Then it's back to my house where I plan to tear the entire rig down and do a much needed cleanup /paint job. I will replace all the bolts that need it along with rewire the entire thing. Paint plans are white skins with rustoleum hammered finish grey cage for easy touch up and possibly polishing the links to mirror finish.

Will still be trying to source a running 22ret motor while all of this is going on to build a nasty turbo propane motor

Looks sweet and looks like you have a good plan, any pics of the suspension? And does it have small boat sides on it?

Thanks I can't wait to start the rebuild, I hate how some of the stuff was just half a$$ed and thrown together. I have pretty bad ocd about things like that so now that I have a rig with potential I can't wait to trick it out and do all the little things. Mechanical,suspension, safety is the first phase then making it pimp
