dont call it a build thread

[zukijames]

thats so he doesnt have to waste building time going inside to take care of business he just gets it done right there and can look and think about what to do to the buggy next.. i think if i ever have a garage i will put a toilet in it

ps this rig is sweet!

 

[Kyle]

looks good, are those rivets? Nice toilet

they are nut inserts with 10/32 machine screws. I wanted to be able to take it all out. My last buggy used rivits,it was pretty inconveinent. I can pull it out in just a few min.for now anyways, it will be a different story with wiring and such.

I wish the toilet was usable, but its for the basement remodel

 

[zukijames]

basement remodel and building a buggy at the same time .. your a harder worker than me and cant even keep up on the maintenance on my rig. being able to take your tunnel out easily will be sweet!

Looking really good. I've been noticing rear trusses & link mounts lately because I'm about to set mine up again. I like how clean your rear axle truss and link captures are.

The rest looks awesome too. Thanks for keeping us updated.

 

[Kyle]

thanks shane, the rear truss is 3/8 plate with 1/2 plate on the front ,only over the housing section. it should do the trick

 

[GOAT]

Looking damn good Kyle. It appears you'll be in need of some DOM for those lower links soon

[Herzog]

Damn that is looking great! You need to show us how you did the fenders & hood.

 

[Tacoma]

Awesome. I was wondering what happened to you, and this buggy.

 

[Kyle]

Thanks guys. I'm still around Just a slow build.
The hood and fenders are 2005 dodge Dakota skins. Heavily modified of course I will get some more pics of the buggy posted soon

 

[iamsparticus]

looks great i like the ridge lines. We are building a buggy for a customer right now and its always great to see other work to get the creative juices flowing

 

[Gravy]

looks right with the dodge skins and dodge wheels keep up the momentum

 

[Tommy Boy]

That is just BadAss !!! I was looking at it and wondering how would that be at the sand dunes ? I am thinking that seriously . You guys that have buggies ever take them to the dunes ? Would really like to hear how they work.

 

[Bart]

Glad to see and hear its still in progress. Keep the updates coming. Great work as always Kyle.
