Hey sorry havent updated in awhile. been really busy with school. well this weekend we got all the axles rebuilt and ready for wheels and tires (just waiting for the wheels). Installed the Bobby long 27 spline birfs, and rebuilt the knuckles, and started on the roll cage. All we have to do is add some more triangulation and finish welding it all up. We tied the main hoop to the frame, it is now tied to the frame in six spots.

It bolts directly to the main hoop, so it allows it to be removable

Got alot of good work done today. The beadlocks showed up at 6 pm yesterday so this morning i painted them and mounted the 39s

we got enough done too roll her out of the garage. we also finished the roll cage. and made a new battery box
all that is left (pretty much) is hook up the arbs, the brakes, fuel lines, and add oil to everything!!!!!

look at that departue angle

Had to take the cage out.

maxed out my high lift, and all tires on the ground still

final look

zukjunkie13 · « **Reply #45 on:** Apr 22, 2008, 12:36:51 PM »

the general person cant get those tires. They are for competitors only, they are the red label, non skid tires (half the tread is cut off for better traction). All im goin to say about the cost is that they were alot!

Well here are the pics from this weekends event in oroville. Me and my dad both ran the unlimited course in the buggy. he ran first and was sitting in first place, than i ran and i beat him by 1 point, so i was sittin in first, than it came down to the final 5 and we had to run the course backwards, and about half way through the course i broke a rear axle. We limped it through the course and finished it. than it came my dads run, i spotted him through the course in 3 wheel drive. and he endend up gettin 2nd and i got 4th. but other than that the buggy worked quite nice walked through everything even in 3 wheel drive
