Woody,
Didn't a rear pinion snap already? I believe his chic was driving it on the road when this happened. :doh:

teeth on the ring gear....not sure yet if it's a bad ring-pinion set or a setup problem.

Bezel is upside down because it's trimmed for the winch cable to run thru...running it correctly would have mean almost eliminating the bottom piece...
 
apparrently, it didn't take a weekend to generate a photo op...lol

More info pending, may swing by the shop tonight...any pics would have to be scanned since my digi was in use elsewhere this weekend....(tho, I did try and convince them to get a CD burned when they get the prints....)
 
He's prolly hideing the roll over pics from you Woody!
 
i really love your rig nice pic,s thanks lot keep us up on the rig k
 
the sheetmetal work DOES take lots of time, and Jim bead-rolled all the panels for strength....

I "think" the buggy is coming down to Attica (tho not competiting) this weekend, outta get a couple action shots of it....

Ya know that prolly isn't much more work, building something from scratch, than it is to build/modify over time. Could be wrong though. :D

Ummm. NO. For those who have never built from scratch you have no appreciation for what it takes to build up a rig from a pile of metal. Just remember every little piece has to be fabricated. There is upsides granted but it is definately more work, by a long shot.
 
Cool. I've never done it and I admit I have no idea how much work it would take. :D

Maybe if you've built the chassis once or twice before? If most of the bugs were worked out?

But then again prolly not. A friend of mine who builds jeep buggies in Denver charges like over $40K for a turnkey and most *fully* built 40's I see in TT are in the high $teen-20k.
 
chassis prices alone run in the $3k-6k range....no motor, no drivetrain, just tube....parts aren't too bad, labor is a killer.

I've looked at the Aggressor chassis, and am guessing there is a minimum of $15-18k in the rig, parts alone....now add in all the labor to bend, plan, install, get running, tweak, paint, etc....

no wonder most "new" buggies run $25k or better....
 
I've thought about buying a chassis for, what, about $3-5K and building it as funds would allow...

Let someone else work all the bugs out on there time and let me do all the assembly. ;) I don't mind paying for that. I just really don't want a jeep sheetmetaled chassis. Yuck.
 
I saw this rig at the UROC comp this weekend in Attica. The attention to detail is awesome, and the fabrication incorporated some great ideas I had not seen before.

Good Job Guys!
