[QUOTE="85toyo, post: 361624, member: 3017"] I bought this piece of **** fresh out of high school with no off-road experience to speak of other than riding some local trails with friends in there stock rigs. After a new motor, propane kit, and a rebuilt 3rd I had it going. Rode it for a few months open front and rear then broke a front shaft. The obvious fix was one tons so after some craigslist searching I found a set of geared and locked axles. Made a few more rides after that then I broke both driveshafts going up a little waterfall. That's when I parted it out and started working on a v8 truggy. 2 years later and I don't see it being done anytime soon.
