Nice pics, that thing is coming a long nicely.
But will it fit out of the garage when it's done? Just looks pretty high.

Looking good, guys!
You might want to use a couple layers of duct tape to hold the body on, though!

Chris, duct tape is just my answer to making temporary mounts!! Nothing to cut or weld, just rip it and stick it! [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]
Dont knock the Bailing wire! Thats whats holding the exhaust on my jeep
Oh and the buggy is just barely taller than the opening in the garage door, so we'll just have to compress the suspension with some ratchet straps to get it out.

You could also just deflate the tires to get it out......safer than ratchet straps too.

Looks good, keep up the good work.
So who's in the buggy bash? Where should we have it?
What constitutes a rig being a buggy anyway? My rig is just like it was except it doesn't have much sheet metal. Not having sheet metal doesn't make it a buggy either because it has less than the new Poison Spider buggy does. Never mind just rambling.....

Should have a Montrose one and a Penrose one.
What makes a buggy, I don't know. But that rig sure does!

Looking good Travis. Keep us updated. I can't wait to see that thing on the trails, hopefully I'll have mine on the trails by then.

Thanks all. [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]
I think we should definitely have a buggy bash at Montrose and Penrose, maybe even Avalanche Ranch.
I dont think deflating the tires any more will help, there's only 5 lbs in them now!
