Birmingham AL NOOBIE looking to into crawling - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Lvnspeed · 11-02-2009, 09:56 AM

I have been reading and looking a ton lately. I live in g-dale and would like ot get into trail/rock crawling. I am looking for advise on what direction to go in. I have tons of metal fab skills. I have built a lot of rear 1/2ed drag cars. I am just not that knowlegable about 4x4.

I think I like the Suzuki Sami's that have been tube chassied or even rear 1/2ed. I dont want some thing totally done but something with a good base.

I saw a guy who sells plans for building a buggy based off Sami parts, anyone built one? Are they worth a crap?

Any advice would be appreciated.
