Chassis, rollers, turnkey - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

rock mafia · 10-27-2010, 04:21 PM

Chassis start at $3300 for 2 seater, and $3500 for 3/4 seater.

All DOM. Main bars are 1.75, with 1.5 and 1.25 filler. Rockrails are .188 wall, optional .188 wall overhead and subframe for those that beat their rigs. Cutting out dented tube sucks.

48-54" wide at cowl. I've done several with cruisier hoods, alot of jeeps, and a rover so far. Wheelbases from 106-120, could go longer.

Can build anything from a bare chassis to turnkey.

Chassis and labor to build everything else (parts not included) 14-15k

Another 500-550 for sandblasting/powdercoat, 600 for paint and bodywork on sheetmetal.

Just to clarify... 14-15 less $3200 for chassis is $11800 - $12800 for labor only to assemble it assuming parts are supplied?

$3500 for a chassis like #17

$11500-12500 for labor only (all parts and materials after the chassis are extra) to do all the rest of the fab work, take it apart, put it back together, plumb, wire, and finish it.

What would your price be on 4 seat chassis mounting the motor, axles, tranny and t-case, and paint and that is it. I guess more or less a roller.

3500 for chassis
2500-3000 labor to mount drivetrain and build suspension.

You don't want to paint it till all the fab work done. There is ALOT of stuff left to build/weld beyond it being a roller.

KyTrash · 12-13-2010, 08:33 PM

I wish that I could afford one of your

buggys. Maybe my next one will be a Jim's Garage!!

acejeeper · 12-16-2010, 06:09 PM

Do you have the specs on #17? length, width, height, etc...

How long did it take to fab the chassis?

Can it be made a bit longer to have 4 seats and room for storage in back?

Looking to build a 4-seater soon and I really like your chassis.

What is the process of getting the chassis to Colorado?

Thanks in advance for the info

sommertime · 12-16-2010, 07:55 PM

Ace.......74" tall, 21" belly, 82" wide wholelotta weight

rock mafia · 12-17-2010, 06:06 PM

Takes about 2 weeks to build a chassis, I have a roller going right now and another chassis after that.

#17 is 52" wide outside-outside at the cowl, and a little wider at the back of the front seats. 113" wb with a slight overhang past the rear tires.

2 full rear seats are about 6" wider and several inches longer than the bench. It would make the whole buggy bigger-taller/wider/longer and leave little room for storage. I'd say $3800. About 300 lbs of adults will fit in the bench

I have not shipped one yet, but have been quoted 500-600 to go that distance.

Rockmann86cj7 · 12-17-2010, 09:08 PM

Jim is great and easy to work with. And he does it for a very reasonable price. I drove 1000 miles for him to build the roller he's building now.

Bump for some bad buggies can't wait to get mine!

Rockmann86cj7 · 02-11-2011, 07:08 PM

He's building #18 as a roller for me right now. Should be complete next week sometime. I will do a build thread later. I know that he has a chassis in line after mine. If you are looking for someone who builds some great rigs and easy to work with Jims Garage hands down! #18 with a little Twist.

sommertime · 02-11-2011, 11:09 PM

#17 has been on the lakebed in JV all week. We ran all the sick trails. Jack/Sledge, Backdoor, Chocolate Thunder, Full of Hate, Big Johnson, and a hole slew of others.

57fever · 02-14-2011, 06:33 PM

These are some nice buggys.

sommertime · 02-17-2011, 02:54 PM

Full of Hate.....sick ass trail!!!

Worked flawless for 8 days of wheeling!!!

sommertime · 02-18-2011, 09:07 AM

Guesstimate is that Jim is up to #21 now.......that's awesome!

crawlin85cj · 02-19-2011, 07:06 AM

Lay eyes on a turn key and it will cause an itchy check writing hand. Check is in the mail for lucky #21.
