Hmm! If I wanted to do a 4 wheel drive buggy I think I would be will to cough up a chunk of change for it. Well not quite that much!

That's what I have to use for my 4x4 rail buggy with a stick-o-matic setup. Mine has a locking differential in it though. I also have a 2800 turbo type 4 that will run on propane to power it. You can get them much cheaper than that. I have 3 and will buy every one that I can get my hands on if the price is right.

Alright, Bevans ....start posting some pics of your rail. I'm sure everyone else on here would like to see it as well.

It's a long way from being on the trail. I'm still in the parts collecting phase (I have been for a couple of years now). I have a desert rail frame that will be modified to use the 4wd parts. It is currently just a rolling 2wd chassis. I have the complete rear drivetrain but none of the front. The frame currently has a link pin style beam and will have to be modified to add A-arms for the front wheel drive train. I'm also thinking about going chain drive on the rear. I'm taking my time on this one because I don't know what the hell I'm doing and I don't have anything to use as a guide.

Any 4x4 experts on here that can help? I don't know what to use for a front diff or front hubs either. I want a selectable locker for the front since I have one in the rear. I also need it to be as light weight as possible so preferrably aluminum or mag housing. I also need some lock out front hubs so I can totally disengage the front drivetrain and run it like a regular 2wd buggy. Any help would be appreciated.

I saw a 4wd buggy once at Summertown. He modified a 2 wd tranny by putting a shaft out the front. He used a rear diff from a smal subaru car up front,,I think upside down. good luck,,,I love the different stuff...
