Well didn't do so hot never even got to ride it Sunday like the plan was. Got it over to the new house and was just riding it down by the creek in sand none the less pushed the cutter down gassed her a little to make a left hand turn and popped the ring gear. So had to pull it back to the house after I walked about a mile back to the house to get my Jeep. Going later today to pick up another 3 and a 6 rib what a mess.

As for the muffler I am using I got it from a guy closing down a Joyner buggy shop he had it fits right on a 2" stinger either clamp it or weld it on. I have another one if your interested in it I will post a sound clip when Windstream gets my internet working right at my new house. Had to come down to the library to snag me some free wifi for right now.

Spent all day out in the garage trying to get somethings organized had a buddy come over and help break down the engine/trany out of the buggy. Now just have to either get this one patched up or find a replacement.

No its either a 1641/1776 with a nice cam. I think from the way it let loose there was a problem inside regardless what was pushing it. I am just glad it wasn't on a climb or way off in the woods when it popped.

Well after a trany swap I finally got to ride the buggy a little today, handles like a dream. Rear suspension is a little stiff but the guy I got it from had just cranked the torsions up so should soften just a little I am sure some good shocks wouldn't hurt either. Gonna take some getting used to this long wheelbase gettin around in the woods. Didn't get a whole lot of woods time before the rain hit but got a pic of my buddies and my buggy while we were out.

98" Warrior frame, after our little adventure the other day he broke down and we welded some tree bars on it and added a roof yesterday. He was the only one getting wet when it was raining.
