No offense to other buggy owners here, but this is one of my FAV so far

Lots of HP, 4 seats, 49" Iroks, and BUILT D60 (wonder if it'll break?)

One of my favorites for sure. The sound of that motor is mouth watering.


Needs some black paint in there somewhere though. The red is too much.

It's a sic buggy for sure, but would be a lousy comp rig.

No way Marc... too wide, too tall, too heavy, too much red!

Red wouldn't be my first choice (I'd shoot for gray or silver or something with some black), but I like the rest a LOT. Supposedly it's only 4800 lbs (small block and 1 tons, I can almost believe that). The 49"s are kinda overdoing it, but in a way, that's one of the things I like the most about it (The 49"/D60 combo---is that like running a 35" tire on a coil spring D30? It's got to be getting there if it's not). Love the 4 seats, but it's kinda long (how you're going to do 4 seats and make it shorter, I'll never know).

I'd be interested to know how tall it is compared to my SOA Jeep if it had 49" tires.

I agree.

that exact statement applies to Dan Dibble's rig as well, IMO. I have seen very few four seaters I like. I just don't dig the big-ness of them

sick but where is the siren and flashing lights????????????????????

 

[waynehartwig]

Very nice indeed! You know it's big when it dwarfs a flat bed tow truck!

4800 lbs is totally believable, but awfully heavy. For comparison, my buggy is 3400--add a bit of length and a couple seats and I'm probably closer to 3700. Add the ridiculous 49" tires and that's gonna make it heavier, but still nowhere near 4800.

Nice looking work though.....

Yeah, the 49" are a little on the obnoxious side. I'd consider dumbing it down to 42" or so, though. It's probably REALLY tall in person.

Where does it end?? 70" tires?

 

[Tacoma]

I'd run 'em. LOL

Im with ya on this. The other thing I think sucks on this for one is the body lines and panels. Im suprised that they didnt do rockwells and diamond plate everywhere for the finishing touches..

 

[Jeremy]

7.5 feet tall?????

 

[Meat_]

He's got it on 47's now...

7.5 feet tall?????

That is only 6" taller than my SOA FJ-40 with 36"'s..........
