4X4 tube buggy build

Postby tannere » Mon Jul 19, 2010 6:21 pm

well i had a buggy and traded it for a dirt track car and went racing, now that i have other people sponsoring me and paying my racing bills its time to get back to the woods. i would love another buggy but i didnt have buggy parts laying around so 4x4 it is going to be for now!!! :mrgreen:

so the story goes... full size axles
small block
46rh trany
danna 300 with the fixings
jeep cherokee leafsprings ( will convert to front and rear 4 link if i keep the rig and dont trade for buggy)
full hydrolic steering
all tube chassis built from the ground up
and some other ideas that im thinking up

Fell free to critize and make suggestions (several minds are better than one)

Looks like tranfer case is on the wrong side. Can you rotate that one? Looks like a good start!

i will end up with coil springs latter .... the chasis is built for them but the joints , bars, and coil overs are not in the budget yet... so i will wheel with leafs till i pull the money togehter

Looks like you've been making some good progress. You might want to run a twin stick shifter on that dana300 case. They are nice to have.
