[QUOTE="jccarter1, post: 680249, member: 3970"] I built my own and it is a love hate kinda thing I have been doing fab work for years and have all the tools to do it. My biggest problem was I didn't want to build a chassis I knew that it took a lot of hours and there was a lot of stuff that was unknown to me because I had never built a ground up chassis. The only reason I did build my own as I started to talk to people about building me something and I was focused on the important details like suspension, easy to work on, saftey, and being comfortable to ride all day, most of the people I spoke with didn't share my attention to detail/OCD on these subjects so I just decided to go at it myself. It was a long process but I wouldn't say it was that hard it was more about the amount of research I had to do to figure out what parts were needed and how to get stuff to fit/work with the space available. I built mine with certain goals in mind that were important to me and it is built very different than most of the buggy/bouncers that I see popping out everyday. All this to say I think building your own chassis has it set of challenges( how to do it,where to put everything,will it work correctly) but working around a already built chassis can be a challenge as well especially if the builder doesn't take in to account all the aspects of what it take to make a good buggy [/QUOTE]
