SWEET!!!    The wife wants me to build/buy a buggy, i've been looking around here and there on the boards. If you dont mind me asking, what did the buggy set you back?

[Blingn [OP]]

i traded it for another truck i was building.  It suited both of our needs.  He needed a truck for the road and wheelin I only wanted a green stickered rig. 

[HDcruiser]

Right on. More and more that is the direction i want to go. Nice ride!

another new toy

don't waste your money or time on putting chevies in the rear.  save your money and link the rear.  You can do it fairly cheap with coil springs and heims from ruffstuff.  I have a bunch of 1/4 plate to make brackets with

I found out its a Ramsey winch. I am going to try to make it so that the controls are in the dash. So I can use it to adjust the ride height in the front up and down while wheelin.

 I started the new paint job last night.  I am going Monster blue cage with black .  Pics will post tonight.  

Beck got as close as she could to the color of this with the stickers that monster sends you.

looks good.

was there a reason the top bars dont go all the way to the end of rig? looks like the back passengers could get hurt if it flips over.

[Blingn [OP]]

I just put the back seat in for a mock up.  I am going to mock up a bunch of seats and see what ones fit best.  Have not attached anything yet for rear passangers.  Yes I do agree the cage needs more bars and more triangulation on the back and the top for rear and front passangers.

got to clean these up a bit

[Blingn [OP]]

my daughter and I will be painting the net and top plate black this weekend.

[Blingn [OP]]

time to start pricing out skins and hysteer this weekend.  im debating on what to use on the side skins and hood.  Time to do some research in the f toy dept of the boards. 

[Blingn [OP]]

push pull is coming off this weekend, my daughter finished painting the black dash, floorboard and rear cargo area. 

[Blingn [OP]]

i took the pump off last night and taking off arms, and rods tonight.  Going to prep the frame for welding and drilling out for the box.

So I am trying to wire up the winch and looking for a w/d to make it run of a momentary switch.  I do not want to use the the winch controller cause I want to control it from the cab.
