why did you change the windshield layout (picture 11 to 14)?
Lookin good, watchin.
The title makes me laugh. Seriously good looking build. cannot wait to see the progress and finished product.
Pretty cool so far Personally not a fan of the front shock hoops look, but that's just me. Keep up the good work!
nice work so far...I could barely tell what year the original cab was..
This is sweet. So much tube and still so much Yota.
I didn't mention at the start that this is definately a budget build. I would have much rather ran coilovers. Would have loved to build up a turbo 22r and gone through cases and trans. I figure I'll upgrade all that in round 2 of the build. Also know the hp 8 is gona be the weaklink so I'm either gona put a 60/14 under it or a 14/14. Unless the toy purist inme desides to build a landcruiser 9.5 front with a housing from Dan at Ruff Stuff.
Personally, I'm not a fan of buggies, but I like where this is going and I like the tubing lines. For me, often times the tubing lines are what kill a buggy build. But the fact that you're doing this on a budget is really what I'm all about. Keep up the good work!
Thanks - me either but it was needed to get the flex as low as possible.
Figured that was the reason when I saw you were using 18" shocks. What kind of travel are you looking to get f/r?
Whoops! I meant up to ask what kind of up and down travel?
Watching this one, looks great. Makes me want to build a buggie even more
Nice! I really like the concept of the whole rig..lighweight is the way to go for a budget wheeler. I have a similar build using a 2RZ and 8" yota axles and 36" iroks. I am running an aw4 auto and single dana 300 case to keep the drivetrain short and lightweight. Pretty jealous of the 9.5" rear and 8" HP front. If you come out weighing around 3k I would think it will hold up well although a lot of that depends on your suspension geometry and of course the situation you get yourself into. I was going turbo on my 2RZ and decided natural aspiration until round 2. Money isn't exactly growing on trees these days!
