it was at Shiloh Ridge in Alto. me and my friends were the only fools in the park, we had 1200 acres to ourselfs.

another pic the flop on the left side view from the top of the washout

Question to previous owner did you ever do any engine work to it? it seems to run fine, shows 199k on odometer but does not work, could be related to your rollover, or is that the correct mileage?

New pics did some wheeling in the rain on slick clay, about like ice. rolled to the left, and the right, added some more body damage, and built a nice new front bumber and added Warn 8274.

Rockwells will happen. I already have them built and sitting in my shop floor. Wheelbase will be 124" stretched 6" in front and 6" in rear. 44 pitbull rockers, unless the guy who bought my buggy sells me the 46 baja claws back. As to the earlier question about the cage, it is tied directly...

it will get aluminum roof, 4'6" x 7'4". i have a bald head and hate to wear hats, shade is a must.

cut the coil buckets off front, flipped and relocated, lengthened track bar, slotted control arm brackets and welded very thick washers over slots after i rolled the axle. Still have to make front shock mounts. Rear i cut out coil mounts and built new ones lower on frame and relocated upper...

Pics of my ride from my 10" lift post. It only ended up with 6-7 inches in rear and about 9" in front. It is a work in progress, still have to put in alot more bars in the cage. Need to make one or 2 more trips, then will swap axles to my Rockwells and stretch the wheelbase to about 123". I...

thanks, i would not think the 9.5 and the 8" third members use the same carrier. good to know.

Can i take my 3rd member from my '91 semi-float rear and put it in a '94 model full float. I already have gears a locker but would like to upgrade in case i break an axle, don't want it to walk out the housing.

i live in Huffman, just 2 streets north of fm 1960, right by the 4 way intersection of fm 2100. you probably go by me if you go fm 1960 to hwy 90 in Dayton.

lengthened the track bar and put it back in. went for a test twist in the ditch and tires still rub the bars a little bit. i don't really like the way everything turned out. instead of putting more time and effort in this setup i think i will start with the rockwell swap.

the bar is solid. once i took it out and felt how heavy it was i thought it would be. i sleaved it with heavy wall pipe. 1 1/4 sch. 80 was a little loose so i put some tacks on the bar and polished them down with a tiger disc until it slid in.

Does anyone know the inside diameter of the front track bar before i cut it into? I want to weld in a bung to run a 3/4 heim to make it adjustable.

It's the rockslider/rollcage bar that is in the way in the front. I put it as close to the body mount as possible. It doesn't stick into the wheelwell anymore than the stock fender did, if it does it is not much. I didn't think it would be a problem until the tire bound up and broke a...
