UPDATE: I stopped working on this rig. I took it apart and parted it out. I bought a rig that I had a heavy hand in building back in January and have been beating the s*** out of it every chance I get. I am going to be building a new rig soon...all tube, lightweight. trying to get in the less than 2500lbs range
sorry to see youve given up on this rig, whats left to get it running/driveable?
It would be nice to see your new toy, got any pics of the new toy?
BTW, if your selling it with whats included in the pics (including motor) I would ask a little more, also your add is a little vague and doesnt include a price...
Not trying to give you a hard time

To all the guys and gals that have been following me and my builds, you know I don't do anything half-assed. Now, I'm building a new buggy which means the other has to go. I've got my FJ-45 up for sale. So, SOMEONE BUY IT!!! Go check out the classified ads!!!
Why?? That fj45 is sweet. Throw some lighter axles on it and it would be more nimble and pretty unstoppable. The military axles are super beefy, but add a awful lot of weight. Im sure you could get a good amount of money just for the axles. JMHO

Oh, the new one gets Rockwell's also. I absolutely love Bertha. I don't want to destroy it, it's too cool of a rig. If I keep on beating it, like I do, I'm going to trash the body. It needs to go out west to where body damage isn't as bad as it is on the east coast lol.
I've got a Tribe chassis that I've already started building. It's going to be lower to the ground (and Bertha is low), shorter wheelbase, more hp, 4 wheel steering again, leading and trailing arm suspension. It will basically be an Ultra 4 buggy on Rockwell's.
If you have Instagram, follow me! @j_sigmon

He'll never get that for it. When mine was built in 2007/2008 there was probably close to $50k in it. Now, with mods and changes, I guarantee there's over $50k in it. He'll be lucky to get $45 tops.
