[Up Yours]

Best ride you've built so far hands down!!! Now get that thing out West and show them West Coast guys how it's really done.

What do you mean If they hit me then they do if I hit them then I got em. I am going to add some more bracing to the front and rear bumpers though.


It will have full skin by the time KOH is here to keep that from happening. It was in the back of my mind driving it this weekend.

That is what I mean, From the pics it looks like if you nerfed someone you would kill your sway bar.. And if you got hit from behind, there is a good change that they could easily take out your radiator.. Bracing and some extra protection would take care of it tho...


Remember, skins can be torn off really easily.


I am NOT baggin on ya btw, The rig is awesome. I just want to make sure that when the shit starts flyin at the race you suddenly do not feel neekid

No offense taken at all man. That's why its here. Good criticism and looking for all the points I missed.

The bar the sway bar rides in is already bent from the first day out ridding. I figured it would happen but it was already in place when I changed my mind not to run any kind of stinger to protect the front end. So it is getting cut out and being replaced with some .250 wall and more bracing for KOH. I have done this on a previous rig and it worked out great. On the ends where the sway bar arms bolt up I just leave open because they are pretty tough as they are. ( I hope that doesn't come back to bite me later:shaking

The radiator needs protection and when I do the skins i am going to add it in. Unskind what I have in mind would not look the greatest but will be very functional and good looking with the skins on.

Also thanks for the compliments.

I'm not a big fan of the swoopty, crushed in cage looking buggies, but You did an amazing job on this car!!! Cool lines and some really nice fab work. One of the coolest out of the box buggies I've seen in awhile.Very Nice!

GET IT! :evil:

 

[Arya Ebrahimi]

What/where is the gauge display from?

Sick looking buggy!

Man that is a huge compliment knowing the kind of work you do. Thanks a lot.



The gauge pack is a Race Pack gauge cluster.

You keep setting the bar higher. Good job

Damn Adam, killer work as usual!:smokin:

 

[Pdaddy]

How many sensor setup are you running on the Race Pack ? Balla Balla cant hide a dolla ! Thats a cool as system.

 

[2slo4u]

frik'n one hot rig. :smokin:

All the sensors came with the race pack except the speedo, and fuel gauge. I ordered my atlas with the speedo in it and I'm not using the fuel gauge.

On the price it was actually the same money to run this opposed to the individual gauges from Auto Meter when you consider I wanted a speed odometer. The thing that sold me was just having to mount the one thing and gaining the visibility over a bunch of small gauges. The whole cook pit was designed around being able to see. Nothing was mounted that I didn't make sure I lost as little visibility as possible.

 

[Clifcattankass]

Im diggin how nice and compact those headers are. The subtle constant wave in the bar that goes from the nose, to the door bar, and then to the back is some beatiful lookin shit man, love it. I need to get one of those roll bendermajigs

 

[MAD MAC]

Adam that fawker is badass You did one hell off a job on it.

Now go out and show those West coasters how they do it in the south:grinpimp:

We will be rootin for ya.

Love the lines of this racer! It's a long span of tube in the window area...do you have plans for a wing window support bar?

We are still up in the air about it. It is hard enough to get in and out of already. I have built all of my other rigs with out them and cages have held up good in rollovers. Is there another reason that I am missing out on for having them.


Also,

I am headed to Grey Rock ORV this weekend for their February Frenzy. The weather looks great so it should be a good time for all. Any others going look me up.

 

[DocRocks]

Very nice job Woodlee :smokin:

100 mph rollovers are a bit different that typical rolls we see in trail riding...that thing looks fast just sitting still! I'd ASSUJME you'll be totally hauling ass and that means your cage design needs a bit of extra thought in where tubes will be headed in a harsh roll at speed. If you were an F-toy or our Jeep, you won't be seeing the same kinds of speeds many of these rigs will be capable of. With what you're putting together, you may want to plan in a little extra assurance.

Regardless, I like that buggy a ton...just like the Orange Truggy, it has a look that stands out a bunch.

Point well taken. I hope this thing will git it at the higher speeds, and a little extra insurance is not a bad thing to have when things turn bad going fast. I figure I will wreck this thing some day and I want to be able to walk away from it.

Thanks for the advice and the compliments.

I didnt see it mentioned(I may have missed it) but are you worried about the exhaust dumping out where it is causing shock fade? For typical "crawling" I wouldnt see it as an issue, but in high speed desert wheeling(where I assume shock heat/fade is already an issue) it might be.
