Looks very cool but i have one prob with it, How are u susposed to put a motor and tranny in that thing? Looks like everything is welded.

 

[ChrisPy]

there is a hood , thats not obvious in the above picture. heres a mock up shot that shows it better... we also planned that its large enuff to fit a future v-8/v-6 swap, should the 4.0 give up the ghost.

 

[Mieser]

yeah....drop the motor out the bottom?

Cool though...

 

[YeeP]

I like it, Good Job

Fire Red panels, hood, and grill, with desert-storm tan tubes and interior.

The cage integrated with the body panels is a nice clean look.

Awesome buggy, I bet its goin to perform as good as it looks. One question - what sheet metal are you using for those sides panels? Thanks and more PICS!

 

[FLEXYSAMMY]

Looking good!

 

[ChrisPy]

One question - what sheet metal are you using for those sides panels? [/B]

1/8" steel. added about 40# to the rig, but if it keeps us from having to hang new sides every time we brush a rock or a tree, its 40# well spent

 

[Slagburn]

I like, nice work! :thumbsup:

How bout a little info on the 61 rear with ARB. How did you do that? My buddy has a 61 and is wondering how you got the ARB in the 61.

3 months, working off and on.

"How bout a little info on the 61 rear with ARB. How did you do that? My buddy has a 61 and is wondering how you got the ARB in the 61. "

well, to use 4.10 dana 61 gears, in a dana 61, you have to buy a ARB for 4.56 and numerically higher ratio. as i understand, for other ratios, it gets complicated. sandy cone supposedly sells a spacer to allow the use of dana 60 gears/lockers in the 61..

since were using the klune V 4:1 and automatic, we didnt think we need anything lower than 4:10 to 1... we will see.

 

[Peabody]

Looks good, I like it

 

[CRAWLR]

Why the SSR's? Aren't the sidewalls kinda weak?

 

[ChrisPy]

had 'em.


the plan is to upgrade .. but, like the reason were using the 4.0... hate to thow away something we have thats still working.


who knows, maybe someone will take pity on us and toss a set of 39.5 Krawlers our way
