Ok, update on the Sweet Brown Buggy:
So a lot has happened since my last post where I showed just a chassis getting in. I'll run you through the whole build/order spectrum.
1. FABN801 Chassis "Sin City" model
2. LS 5.3 build with a torquey cam sitting right around 400 HP
--> building this absolutely racked my brain, I'm not good with engines
3. Monster Transmission Turbo 400 (reverse manual valve in it)
4. Midnight Metalworks Rockbox 4:1 tcase
5. Running on a set of Tons with all crane axle goodies including high steer, diff covers, 13 bolt shave, yukon super joints, chomoly 35 spline errrr thang, 5.38 gears, running an ARB up front and the factor detroit in the rear on the CUCV 14 bolt.
6. Got 42" Iroks mounted on battle born beadlocks
7. Using the holley terminator kit for wiring everything
8. Got a switch pro's cluster for all things ignition, lights, fuel & fans
9. PSC full Hydro steering with the fancy PSC CBR power steering pump mated to the LS using the WOD high clearance FEAD
10. Using Heims on 2" .250 wall DOM linkage
11. Corbeau suspension seats will ride in this sucker
12. Barnes trusses with FABN801 link & chassis tabs
13. Johnny's custom motor sports scratch designed radiator w/ trans cooler running on brushless fans will be sitting behind me
Haven't yet thought through brakes (may go hydroboost from busted knuckle offroad) and fuel cell (may have to go custom here).
I think that is a pretty good run down of all the major components. All of the above is currently sitting in my shop just waiting for me to put hands on it. This is a long build and I'm not rushing anything. I'm currently at linkage. Got the powertrain all mounted up and the axles are fully build (just haven't welded on the trusses yet).
