    Project Ol' Skool and the Ranch

    This build will be starting about halfway through, I originally modified an f 350 frame with leaf springs and was going to mount this cab and drivetrain on it. I ended up scrapping the f-350 frame and decided to build my own. I built the old truggy Ford and it worked really well for what it was...

    running coolant through 2X4 frame to rear mount rad

    I am building a buggy and do not have room to mount a rad in the front. I want to run the coolant through the frame. The entire main frame is made from 2x4 3/16'' rectangular tubing. I know a lot of guys do it with 1.75 round, but I am wondering if there will be an issue with doing it with 2X4...

    7.3 powerstroke question

    My 7.3 randomly overheated the other day. Has been fine leading up to this. I thought maybe the thermostat was stuck so I pulled that. While I had it off filled the water pump up with water at the thermostat housing opening, I then bumped the engine over and there was not water coming out, I...

    How screwed is my 7.3?

    My wife drove our 02 7.3 power stroke to get groceries. The water pump developed a massive leak and drained all the coolant. She said the heat quit about halfway there. So she drove it roughly 15 miles with no water in it. She said it started running rough just as she pulled into town, temp...

    Firewall buggies and full bodied wheelers

    I love the full blown buggies just as much as the next guy. I like to see the homebuilt stuff too. Lets see some of the lower budget firewall buggies and full bodied rigs that get wheeled hard. Here is my fullsize 3 seater Ford. I am really thinking hard about cutting off a lot of sheet metal...

    Minimum lower link lenght on 4 link

    I am getting my frame laid out for my buggy and it is looking like my lower links are going to be pretty short for the wheelbase I am shooting for. I wanted a long flat belly, so the links needed to be short. I am looking at 24-26'' lower links. Is this way too short or will it work ok? I don't...

    Frame/chassis upkick distances

    I am in the process of building a buggy. I want it to have a very low stance, like Jenny Craig/Moon Rover low. I am running tons and it will have 44's. I am thinking 110-112 wheelbase with a 20'' belly and a 65-70'' roof height. I have all the parts gathered, and the steel sitting on my shop...
