project buggy!!!

[chadschoon]

ok so ive been waiting a long time to start this thing. my plans are for a 2 seat buggy. drive terrain will be a tbi 350, with a turbo 400. I would like to run a 203/205 doubler but use the 205 out of a ford so I can run a high pinion ford 60. the rear will either be a 14 bolt or a dana 70. suspension will either be coilovers or air shocks.

I have the tbi 350 but am in need of a lot more parts, so if you happen to have anything you would like to get rid of let me know.

I've been waiting to see what you had going.

Can I talk you out of doing the 203/205 though? I will if I can.....

 

[chadschoon]

ya you can talk me out of whatever you want. whats your idea???

 

[I Lean]

Something else, naturally more expensive. Atlas, Atlas 4speed, Stak 2 or 3 speed. Any of them will be more compact (especially in length, which helps your rear driveline), lighter, and more straightforward shifting stuff. Plus they're more blingy.

That's not to say a 203/205 won't work, cuz they will.....they just aren't my favorite option.

i was thinking the same thing. if I did the doubler my wheel base would have to be around 118 to have a nice d-line angle. id like to be around 112-115 I think though anyways

What happend to doing a round tube main frame fool???

 

[chadschoon]

I never was going to do a round tube frame. I like the idea of square tube for this

We decided that since we're both the uncoolest people we know, we'd go to where the cool kids hang out and see if that improved our odds at all! You and Bre wanna come?

Sweet, let the madness begin. Good luck Chad, can't wait to see it on the trail.

Cool! Now what are you doing with your TJ that you've put so much into making it a 'buggy'

Oh, and you need help posting pics Meat, get him!

 

[chadschoon]

ya I know I need help with the pics lol. Im heading out to start bending tube here in a min. Im keeping the tj just because of the fact that I love it

 

[Tacoma]

Hey, I found you a sweet TBI diagram on BinderBulletin... now if I can find the link again... it's very straightforward and much easier to deal with than the factory manual.

Well, that and the fact that it can be modified to hold all the babies he and the Chelsenator are going to have here in the next few years! Plus, once Chelsea starts driving, she'll need her own rig.
