Thanks for all the kind words. I have owned the buggy for about 4 years and it is still evolving. I changed some things this winter, I hate the roof line it looks racy but no head room. When I got it it was a lay-down and looking back I should of cut the roof off and re-done it first. Now I think I'll just build another frame. I don't feel safe at in it.

Welcome to the board. Nice Buggy. I can relate to the lack of headroom. After banging my head a few times I raised my roof line 3". That made a big difference. It also gave me a better line of site in rolling terrain.

Nice buggy, I like the ground clearance, I run 39.5 boggers. I learned not to mount my lights on the roof of my hill climbing buggy though. I hope you have better luck with them.

I think it is a fugitive frame at least that is what it started as. The boggers are 31x12.50 when they are replaced I am going to 10.50 x 33 boggers on 7 inch rims. Yes Jefferson City is between Morristown and Knoxville. I have only rolled the buggy 3 times completely over been on its side several times and have torn the lights off twice. They are the cheap Autozone housings with KC daylighter lenses. They work really well where they are so $15.00 when I tear them off seems like a fair trade off. I have 4 high dollar Hella lights I am going to build a substantial light bar for but until I decide on cutting the roof off and re-doing it or building a new frame they will remain in the box. I catch alot of crap from my riding buddies over no tree bars, when I got the buggy it had them. The first couple of rides I got stuck on them several times, so when I replaced the rear torsion housing I never replaced them, and have never missed them. I like fire roads and logging road type riding the best and buggy is built with this in mind. When I bought it it also had a windshield and a Tennessee homebuilt title so I have tags and insurance also. I enjoy watching OTHER people hill climb but two or three years ago I was riding with a buddy on the old trail 7 at Windrock and we lost a brake line with a single stage master cylinder and did about 4 endos and a couple barrel rolls and one particularly nasty snap roll. When It was all said and done I had a hole in my head one hell of a headache for about a week and couldn't remember sh*t for a while. So now rocky vertical angles are admired from afar. Thanks for making me feel welcome here and I look forward to meeting new people. I have been an off-roader most of my adult life 4X4 mostly but it seems like buggy people ere the nicest by far.

Welcome to the site. Looks like a Fugitive to me also that is what I have. I cut off the roof and redid it. Heres a picture of the finished look to what I did.

Thanks for all the pics guys. I wish I had of cut mine off to start with. I have re- done the the b pillar the upright bar beside the seat 3 times already. two winters ago I cut the whole bottom out and replaced all the tubes and rear torsion housing with an adjustable fabricated one. Broke it on the second ride (It was a high dollar big name torsion too, I am over being pissed now so I won't mention brand) Got out the sawsall and torch and cut that out and went coil overs on the rear. I admit I started this buggy without a clue and some changes I have made only to change again and again. So now I am really tired of cutting and grinding on this POS. I have some Kirkey seats I want to use and even if I cut and redo the roof the buggy is still to narrow to use these seats. So I have gotten some great ideas from buggys I've seen here and have a better idea of what I want now so hopefully I can start a build thread soon.
