I got some stuff done this weekend. I clocked the t-case up 3" and made a new crossmember for it. The belly isn't completely flat, but it's close now. The crossmember is very stout also. I'll try to get some pics up later this week.

Nice buggy! Are those two Minis I spy in front of the 40 in one of your shots?

Yes, you are correct about the Minis. We have 3 total, would you like to buy one?
My wife would! She is a wacko for Minis like I am for LCs but the next vehicle we buy is my tow rig. If I hit the lotto I will definitely be in touch.
Nice job R.K.
Very sweet ! Makes me all antsy feeling like I need to be bustin on mine. Good motivation for me!

I'm working on the floor boards, plumbing the fuel cell, some wiring, etc right now, but nothing worth taking pics of yet.

I have plumbed the fuel cell and rear brakes, mounted and wired the tail lights, mounted the 42s on new beadlocks, etc. I am fabbing the floorboards now. Then I'll be ready for exhaust.
Sick build. Any issues with the tire size combination with the Toyota axles

No issues with it sitting in the garage! I'll let you know when I finish it up and test it out.
Reminds me of my old cruiser. Love the build RK! Whens the test run?

Thanks Sam. I hope to be ready to test it in a couple of weeks. I have to finish the floorboards and have the exhaust run. Then there's a lot of small things to do. If everything goes well, I should be in Harlan for the April Fools Ride.
Who bought your old Cruiser/buggy chassis?
A buddy from Boone, Zack, came and picked it up on friday. Had alot of people intrested but he came down and snaged it pretty quick. Hopefully i will see ya at Harlan in April.
