I started building this early June 2020 when I was sitting at home with nothing to do. I’m starting this thread for advice and motivation to actual finish this thing. I have never built a buggy before so feel free to roast me and tell me what I’m doing wrong…
The goal is to finish this in time to take it to king of the Hammers 2022....
Specs:
2 Seater
1.75 and 1.5 DOM tubing
WB: 106”
Axles: Volvo C303 portals
Suspension: 4 link front and rear with 14" 2.0 air shocks for now
Transfer case: Suzuki Samurai…... ( it’s what I had lying around)
Transmission: TH350
Engine: I got a crazy deal on a L33 Vortec originally I was planing on a 4 cyl Totoya....
Tires: I want to run 40' Treps but im not sure the sami transfer case can handle that...
Here's a incomplete render of what it should look like
I really don’t have the space or proper tools to be doing this, I have a 12’x18’ “Garage” a TIG welder, a grinder and a Model 3 tube bender…. I learnt how to use Solidworks so I could design my own frame. A lot of the ideas I used are not my own and taken from Instagram pictures of other buggies I liked.
