Made mine out of stainless and plan to rubber mount it.. the big hole on top is so the pump and sending unit can drop in as one unit like a factory setup.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let us know how those dies work.. I found this 1/4hp motor and 1200:1 gearbox in the boneyard at work.. gonna make a nice powered bead roller.. "someday".. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Best get them mirrors waaay out there now.. before you run that bike over.. Dodge.... :rolf:

You sir, are a bundle of talent and ambition.. what gauge and grade of aluminum is that? Your bead rolling looks awesome!

Hell yeah.. 460 4spd 5.13's.. my buggy woulda been 429/460 powered but got a good deal on a 5.3 early on in the build.. how do you plan to feed the 460? Carb? Ford efi? F.A.S.T.?... something to consider.. my bouncer started out as a junkyard build, but escalated quickly.. the more you hang...

Building my own 1480's with the $250 Rockwell kit on eBay. Can get Rockwell flanges for d60/70 and 14bolt.. making my own np241c sye to mate to Rockwell shaft... won't know more till something breaks.. :****:

Your tiggin is lookin pretty good. Glad to see that lil diversion 165 can get it done, I've wanted one for a long time, but I've been spoiled by the big sycrowave at work I can use anytime, so I'm spending my money on buggy parts that I can't make for now, haha.. It looks like you're still...

This is what I'm after.. Took me a while, but I finally got my head around spending a paycheck on a pair of shocks.. My buggy is only 3/4 done, so I can still move weight around too.. If Ryan can get me close, I'll finally have what I need to finish the chassis.. I will be buying from...

I flexed it out as good as I could by myself tonight.. I've settled on 20 degrees back, and 22 degrees in. 7" of up travel will put my belly at 20" and it will use all of a 16" shock without letting the 43's eat the springs at full stuff and full lock.. Thanks again for the help. I'm getting...

Drivetrain is a 5.3/700/241, 115" wheelbase, front axle center is 8" ahead of the harmonic balancer bolt, there will be a 75lb winch directly Obove the front axle. I'm hoping for around 7" up travel.. I can get angle measurements and whatever else could help when I get home from work tonight...

Alight guys, just finished up 2 60 hour weeks at the fab shop, so payday is lookin good for my buggy. I'm gonna order a pair of fox 2.0x16x7/8 emulsion coilovers with 16x150 over 16x200 springs for the front to get a baseline on spring rates... Am I on the right track here?

Hey. Guys, after my "why are foa's so cheap" thread turned me away from them, then turned into a kinda for sale thread., then being laid off for two months,. I've decided to throw some airshocks on my buggy to hopefully be ridin by July.. I haven't put it on scales yet, but from resting on mock...

I've got my buggy about as far as I can without putting some shocks on it.. I'm on a very tight budget but I really wanna wheel this thing by July.. It's a bouncer style chassis, 5.3/700r4/241/ tons, 43 non sticky's.. I don't know what to do for shocks, it's fairly light, so fox 2.0 airs...

Awesome thread here.. Gives me motivation to keep workin on mine.. I have basically the same combo, 5.3/700/241/tons.. Do you ever shift your t case? I don't see a shifter in your pics, thinkin about just leaving mine in 4lo unless someone talks me out of it.. Also wondering what you guys...

The chicken wire is a good idea.. Most of the shops I've worked in up here in MN are built that way, the ones without the wire all have spots where the vapor barrier let go and there's fiberglass hangin..
