Their currie's HD coils for the rear of a TJ.

freaking awsome. seeing pics like that of others builds keeps me motivated to press on with my build.
just wish i had the extra money to buy a tube bender and better welder to build a buggy too..

Thanks man, I did the math and the cost to buy a good bender and all the right tools plus the metal was way over the cost I got the tube chassis for. Plus this chassis design is being used in the formula toy series for rock crawling and is holding up pretty well. I have access to a friends bender for the little things I need to make my own improvements to the chassis. Should be pretty fun when all is said and done.

My best friend came to the same conclusion. Originally he got the formula chassis to actually run in the formula class. Then changed his mind for a K5, he's a fan of the skinny pedal so a fullsize suits him better. Look forward to see how this build plays out.

Updated Pics of the ACOS and support structure tacked in place.

what size tubing are u using? looks good

The main chassis is a Hendrix Motorsports X-Chassis he uses 1 3/4 .120, Im using the same size tubing for the supports and other structures, some square 1 3/4 .120 in there as well.

sorry i forgot to specify. what size are you using for the 4link? same thing?

Lower links are 2in .250 wall DOM tubing, Im going to truss it dezert style once everything is set and tested.

Uppers are 1 3/4 .250.

looks good, it looks like a hendrix chassie

No shit, eh? :flipoff2:

I think you need to tack that canopy on. It would be like a bimini top only more functional. What's that chain for going around the axle down to the ground?
