Great work dude! Owner have a deadline for himself?

Dusty was talking about Dixie run but a lot will depend on how backed up Chris is at marsfab for doing the tin work.

Was really shooting for Sep, Dixie Run. That's going to be a little out of reach looks like. Hopefully soon after that though. Thanks guys. thumb.gif

Hoping Chris will keep updating this thread. His tin work will put this thing over the top.

Dusty brought this buggy back for me to do a little more work to it.

Fluid coolers mounted

Battery mount

Added some fender bars and some more skins. Still a little trimming left to do

Built a steering column for it

Had to do a good bit of bending and cutting to get the transfercase shifters to clear the dash and not hit the pass seat.

Built a tray in the back to hold a cooler or tool bag

Got the gas pedal and throttle cable installed. Had to add a bracket on the back of the firewall to keep it all from flexing too much. Also added a foot rest on the left side

Hey real nice. I like the rolled dash panels and rounded edge body panels. I just finished twin stick mods too. Feels like I had those shifters out 50 times for test fitting.

I too have a foot rest. Curious if you or the owner has wheeled it without one first? What initiated that idea?

After my foot rest install, I found that your boots get slick if you get out in the creek. So I used some stair grip tape from Lowes. Cut it to contour the shape of foot rest.

I'm a little guy and I think the foot rest was one of my best upgrades. I used to slide out of my seat constantly. That's why I'm curious what made you do that. Lol

Looks awesome man
