The Budget Buggy - Take Two

[frieed]

Thanks bud! If you could PM me those pics, I would love to have them

They are in Canon Raw format. If you want the raw ones I can do that. If you want jpg then let me know which ones and I'll process them for you.

Awesome build thread! Surprised I just now came across it, I have been looking into doing a build just like this... Almost everything similar. Love the detail you put into it! Great overall build man.

Thanks man I appreciate it! It has been fun and challenging at times. Lots of input (good and bad) and sometimes you just have to do it yourself and find out if it will work or not. I couldnt be happier (so far) I need to run it some more, but should be a great rig once I get more of a feel for it, and used to all the sticks and disconnect, etc haha

This past weekend, it got some color. I got all the tube work painted, and all the panels were wrapped. I also got the bumpstop landing pads made, I will get pics of that later, for now, a paint pic

Looks awesome!

 

[Coco]

Thanks Cheston!

Well last night was a late one, but I got in the groove, and just didnt want to stop 'til I got done what I wanted to get done. I got my gauges all hooked up (minus tach), got my grill emblem on, painted the belly of the buggy, and all the links, put the panels on, and a couple stickers. With the panels on, it really brought the whole buggy together. I LOVE the way it turned out

Thanks guys! It should be fully buttoned up over the weekend. I got to build a firewall/plate to protect my feet from the heat and motor, but other than that, and a couple odds and ends I think it is ready to go. OSRC, IXR, and wheeling

 

[Coco]

Once my seat covers come in from PRP my seats will be back in as well.

 

[spacecase]

very sexy rig, looks awesome. what did the wheelbase end up at?

Can I recommend ditching the center limit strap for a winch if your going to compete

 

[Chase39]

Dude looks way good! I need to do bumps, center straps, and a rear sway on my truck.

For now I am just going to keep the strap, and see how it does with some more drive time. But I havent ruled out the winch either

Thanks man! It turned out great I think. I cant wait to get down to W4x4J with it!
