Metalspice's better half's Buggy

[Wayneraintree]

Just thought I would share pics of my buddy's (and TLCA admin. Jen L.'s hubby's) buggy. Eric Lorincz built this and sent me some pics. He is not much of a webwheeler but I thought this crowd would appreciate this:

22RE, W56, drops in t-case gears, stock axles, thumb throttle, welded front and back, 38's, beadlocks, full tube chassis, stock birfs

 

[bandy rooster]

wow thats crazy... def cool for going buggy and still keeping some stock parts in there...

 

[Tapage]

woooouuu ! I can call buggy !

But i need to ask .. fron welded and stock bierf with 38!

 

[Wayneraintree]

I am guessing the overall weight is such that the front birfs are holding up OK for now.... he just recently finished it.

 

[CruisinGA]

give it some time... they will pop for sure

 

[agent orange]

Any idea what the wheelbase is on that? The chassis itself is really compact, thats sweet.

Should not have a problem just sitting there.

.... he just recently finished it.

So it has not been worked yet?


Should be fun.

Wheelbase is around 100"....

I am sure Eric just used what he had for birfs and he says he is planning on Longs when they break.. the pass birf is clicking already

He has not weighed it but would be surprised if it exceeded 2000lbs.

Poser, he is bringing it up to Paragon late April so I imagine it will get worked : ) I'll update this thread with pics from the trip, seems like it works well.

Not much of a web wheeler here. I've thrashed the hell out of it. Am convinced it's the best way to go with a mini driveline.

 

[Wayneraintree]

What do you know about mini truck drivelines

 

[zucruisers]

im jealous man...i wouldve already built something similar if i wasnt broke all the time

Didn't you have an IFS mini in the Black Hills a few years back with a similar paint scheme?



Should be fun!

 

[Metal Spice]

Yup. Luftwaffe fighter paint.

update..

Eric was at FlatNasty in his buggy this past weekend.... got the farthest up "bounty hill" of anyone so far.... rolled once on another obstacle, flogged it extremely hard and.........with stock birfs, welded front of course he knows something will break eventually but wow, it's all holding up nicely so far.

Saw him at Flat Nasty but didn't get to wheel with the group he was with. Good looking buggy.

[dacicci]

Would like to see a little more info on this buggy if possible, I like the size and weight of this unit.
