baustin · 02-08-2010, 08:27 AM

That will look good.

From the pics and vids it looks like the buggy worked real good. Nice work.

84thumper · 02-08-2010, 03:20 PM

That does sound like its gona look sweet cant wait to see it in march. Anymore runs planned before then?

baustin · 02-09-2010, 07:18 AM

not yet was planning on 1 more before BMR but dont think ill have time

baustin · 02-13-2010, 02:02 PM

I took the buggy and wighted it today and started the bump stop pads as well. I came in at 3710 with out me in it and no tool but a full tank of gas. I figer about 125lbs for the hood, skins and core support so not bad its about what i was wanting.

84thumper · 02-14-2010, 11:01 AM

Not bad so what about 4000 with you and tools and 4100 if sabrina is in there with you.
Thats light enough for shure, looks lil bitty between the dragon fly and big yeller on that trailer.

baustin · 02-16-2010, 06:24 AM

started the hood and core support last night.

84thumper · 02-16-2010, 04:41 PM

Looks good with the cj front end.

daveoffroad · 02-17-2010, 03:49 AM

I have been pulling for a "8N" FORD Jubilee front end from the beginning but just can't sell Brad on the Deal....

chevy_yj · 02-17-2010, 04:16 AM

Hood lines look Awesome!!

Very nice.

B.A.R.K · 02-17-2010, 07:43 AM

How would you compare the visibility in the new buggy to one of your old YJs?
The cowl looks really tall but it could just be that the upper windshield bar is really low.

baustin · 02-17-2010, 08:45 AM

Its a whole lot better the car is very lowprofile. Its alot smaller then it looks in the pics

baustin · 02-17-2010, 08:07 PM

added some more, mounted the core support, built rad hoop and stinger and added 2 more rear bars just for added strength

Kamikaze · 02-17-2010, 08:12 PM

I wasn't sure how I felt about the lines of this rig, but the hood and grill made the whole truck. Looks awesome. Congrats on a sweet build!

84thumper · 02-17-2010, 08:29 PM

Is my eyes crooked or is the steering in the last pic look a lil off?

The ram is set so that when it is fully exstended the ram and the tie rod is straight. thats why it looks off center while centered

84thumper · 02-18-2010, 07:24 PM

No i was talking about the tires they dont look straight looks like its plowing a lil the drivers tire looks like its going left while the pass is straight.

baustin · 02-19-2010, 06:20 AM

got ya , nope there straight I was standing above the to take pic , it playing with you I set it up with the stock tie rod in place just to be on the money

baustin · 02-25-2010, 09:48 AM

Trying to get the little stuff busted out, limitting straps, the driver side foot box and boat sides. Im off the KORE this weekend, Ken is going to cut the skins for on the plasma table so no jig saw and disk cutter lol

84thumper · 02-25-2010, 05:48 PM
