From what I've gathered it's still there... They're working on recovering it soon, once the river slows down and it's safer and more feasible to do so.

I'm kinda shocked right now haha... :eek: So this post initially caught my eye because I grew up in the Southwest corner of Colorado and my family, friends, and I frequently rode dirt bikes or drove jeeps/trucks to and played around in/near the Dolores River. Imagine my surprise when I opened...

Looking great! What about something like this, hinged at the rear corner but during transit is pinned at the hitch. Go to ~1:03 of this video: Also, here is the short article on the same van...

Great pictures, thanks for the update. Looks like an awesome time and a fun crew/set of rigs. I'm just going to sit here behind my keyboard and sulk for a while... definitely jealous. Next time!

Even more of a reason why I shouldn't go, I need to stay home long enough to put the dang thing back together. Competing does sound like a ton of fun though.

Still deciding if I'm going to go watch or not. I've never been and I'd like to check it out, but I've been traveling for the past 3 weekends straight, just staying home and working around the house is pretty appealing... Anyways, it took me a while to find the schedule but I found it on...

I own a 2017 Ford Transit 350 that I use to shuttle coworkers back and forth to work and I love the thing. I drove the EcoBoost and I'd rather have that but I couldn't justify the cost for just a people mover. This thread has me thinking the same thing as @LJTim, trade in my van for the...

@aedavis, cool video, looks like a very technical trail. I hadn't heard of Penrose either, is there a lot of wheeling there?

Driving around Honolulu today, spotted this rad little short bus.

One can dream...

Has anyone ever ran this trail? Stumbled across it online and it looks like a good time. Kind of reminds me of Coyote Canyon or something along those lines, short but technical. Are there additional trails around this area that'd make it worth a long weekend trip?

After I posted I just had this thought... if I didn't triangulate my lowers I could eliminate the rear steer. The angles between the two lower links in the X-Y plane would match so the axle would move forward and back equally on both the driver and passenger side. As I explained earlier...

Thanks @RockChucker and @Herzog, I agree with both of these comments. Based on everything I've read and seen my links are very short, lowers are 26.5" and uppers are 20.5". From what I understand, link length contributes to rear steer more so when the links have a high amount of angle at...

I got tired of having to go down into the basement every time I had to take a piss so I took a break from the buggy and finished the remodel on my upstairs bathroom. I spent a lot of time this weekend working on the buggy; a lot of measuring, checking, making tabs, mocking stuff up, cycling...

What diameter of link did you choose? How long are your lowers?

That's awesome. Once I got the thing home I got to looking it over and I really just wanted to keep it but I don't think my brother would have taken that too well ha. The guys I bought it from had quite the collection of rigs, it was fun just looking them over and talking with them for a bit...

Agreed, the Swag table is super handy. This is the first time I've used it on relatively thick plate and I was very happy with it. Axles are 5.38

Back to the buggy... Last night I got around to cleaning up the axle and start setting up the lower links. Tabs are made from 3/8" plate; started with cardboard templates then using the SWAG Offroad Portaband Table cut them out of plate. Should be able to get the 45deg I was targeting out of...

Didn't have any time to work on the buggy this weekend as I had family in town; on that note, a quick detour. My brother is rebuilding my Grandpa's Willys; not a show car or anything but just a fun rig to drive around town, canyons, and mountain roads. He's rebuilt the motor, transmission...

Nice job man!
