Custom built Rock Crawler ( rockcrawler ) tube buggy with 5.3 LS motor. This is an American Rock Rods 4 seater Mantis chassis made from 1 3/4" DOM tubing. It is set up as a two seater buggy currently. Dana 60 front axle with 5:13 gears, chromoly inner and outer 35 spline shafts with drive slugs. GM 14 bolt rear with 5:13 gears and stock shafts. Both axles have welded differentials. Full PSC steering system will double ended ram. The motor was from an 03 Tahoe and has a cam swap with custom tune and a big Be Cool aluminum radiator. The harness and computer are from Affordable Fuel Injection. It has a 700r4 transmission with a twin stick Atlas transfer case with 4:3 ratio. Wilwood brakes with front and rear pedals. It also has a bluetooth stereo with marine speakers and Corbeau suspension seats. It uses Fox coilovers at all four corners with Fox bump stops and a Currie Antirock bar on the rear. The heim joints on the link bars are all 1 1/4". The wheelbase is 124" and it has 44" TSL Super Swampers on double beadlock wheels. They have 4 trips on the tires and the complete ride has about 12-14 trips on it. This buggy works very well, is stable at crazy angles and the motor is very healthy. Don't want to trade. $22k.

No comments, not even from the web wheelers? Great buggy if someone is looking for a long wheelbase ride.
 
It's still for sale, but I will cut it up soon if not sold.
 
No, don't want to tear it apart to sell it. I have a potential local buyer. If it falls through I will just cut it up and shorten the wheelbase and redo the cage to something a little more eye appealing. It's not a Green Yeti, its a Carlos cooler. I imported about 350 of them in various sizes and colors. I sold them locally and at the ATV shops around town. They are all gone now though.

thanks. I have someone interested fairly local. if it doesn't sell in about 2 more weeks I will shorten the wheelbase and redo the cage to make it visually more appealing. I don't need a 4 seater.
