FIRST, I want to than my friends at S & N fab (sn-fab.com) for helping me with this project. Without them I'm sure it wouldn't have turned out near as good. They rule!!!! I can't imagine being any happier with they way the buggy performs.

Finshed the buggy on friday. Went to a show and shine/fundraiser on saturday to help S & N Fab coordinate some stuff.

Still have a few items to finish, like front bump stops, CB antenna, etc.

Took it out wheeling for the first time on sunday, it performed very well. I am extremely happy with it. The suspension turned out great. Didn't get a lot of pictures, but I'll work on some detail pictures today or tomm.

Stats:

Chevy 4.3 V6
Toyota 5 spd tranny and T-Case with crawler
High Pinion D44's F & R
5.38 Gears
Warn Shafts in front with CTM's
Moser shafts in rear
Detroit Lockers
38.5x14.5 SX's

Weight unknown as of now.

Mike, Glad to see that something I used to own is in a rig a bad as your buggy:D (I'm referring to the RC 44 you bought from me several months ago)
Hope to see you wheel that thing in person this summer.

unimogken - It was put on by Randy's Offroad. It was mentioned here on the Snort Board.

JR - Yes I plan to compete.

Camo - New Years at the latest, but I'll try to drag Jason down there sooner. :)

suburban grl - No, got an "event" here that weekend.

333J - What paint? :) I added quite a few more on sunday, laid it up against the cage on the expressway at Walker, drove out of it though and made it up.

Whizzy - You'll need to come down here, I doubt that they would let me across the border with this thing. :)

Damn, that is very much bad!

You got all the good components combined with a good eye and craftsmanship. Doesn't look like you'll be needing the rear winch too much...unless it's for helping other rigs! :cool:
