Bryson in Moab!?!

[RockMonkey]

I got some ready to go in the garage! We played last summer

I'll pay $3 for them. I hear that's the going rate.

More pics please.

Cool.. . The best part is he looks like a totally-f'ing-badass in those pics as well... Nice work Tsugimoto!

So... there are videos on Facebook, but I can't figure out how to link them here. Not sure it's possible. They should be up on the YouTube soon, and I'll post them here when they are. I'll post more pics too.

Anyways, the buggy works better than I could have hoped for. Really stable, and sticks to the rocks pretty well. It pukes trans fluid regularly, but I didn't break anything or have any catastrophic failures. Not bad for a first trip I guess.

Looks good! Wish I would have been there to see it. Let me know when youre ready to go out.

Thanks Sam.

You should probably post up in the "Waterfall Bragging Thread" now.

Nice buggy Bryson but what is the front axle out of?

 

[I Lean]

Jeez Bryson, do I have to do everything for you?

Both axles are 9" centers. Rear has 14bolt full-float outers, front has balljoint 60 knuckles and unit bearings out of a mid-90's Dodge. 5.83 gears, Detroit front, spool rear.

And as long as there's a rundown--engine is a Buick 3800, Chrysler 904 trans, D300 4:1 Tcase.

Looks great, very nice work Bryson!! That 3.8 sound & looks like it has enough power, you thinking about supercharging it in the future?

Thanks! I am very lucky that it works as well as it does. Not really any plans to upgrade to forced induction... I understand there are a lot of differences in the SC versus the non SC motors. Not like you can just bolt on the intake and go... Plus, it seems to have enough power to do what I need it to do.

Thanks for answering the questions, Carl. I have been slacking a little on that part. What I really need to do is start a trip report thread with pics of everyones rig... It was a damn fine bunch that was down there, and that made for an awesome week of wheelin.

As far as the waterfall thread... Sam did post some videos in there that include me going up it once, so I think that'll have to suffice for now.

Great to see the ninja back on the trails. It's been too long.

 

[1adam12]

nice work on the big hot tub, thats the easiest Ive seen it done and it was wet

 

[Cody]

Very awesome. I'm glad I have a buggy that I can borrow now

 

[Gravy]

what's your plan for skins?

 

[Tacoma]

I'm gonna donate JoeT's skins for the buggy.
