Hello Fellas,

In preparation for Wilborn, I am trying to finish up some loose ends on my buggy and I was wondering if anyone could think of some additional things I should fix prior to the trip.

A few last minute things I am already wrapping up;
- Install Engine Skid Plate
- Mount High Lift Jack
- Install additional Trans Straps
- Swap Rear Tires for Swampers
- Install Tow Hooks to the Front Beam
- Pad the roll bars
- Check all nuts and bolts

Time to have some fun and see what breaks....

Just for fun, I was thinking of starting a pool to guess what will beak first at Willborn. Maybe I will buy the winner a Woodsbuggy T-Shirt.

Maybe something in the steering, I dunno, you may be very lucky that nothing will break, it depends on how hard you drive it on them hills, I broke a 930 CV at the Cold Spot and it also chewed up my axle as well, but did not hurt the tranny though. I would say you will be OK there, I wish you luck and be safe :P

With the Rack and Pinion, I hope to not break the steering and the Race Prep type 2 CVs might hold up. I am sure I will break something if not multiple things.

We will see who wins a brand new Woodsbuggy T-shirt.

It will be some small stupid little part, like in my case for the last hillclimb comp. I broke a link in one of my chains $2.00 part cost me $1000. But i hope nothing breaks. Hey Sharp! make sure you show him the Alabama beer dancer he's worth watching.
