    Not really, been on a few rides. Buggy is still performing great though.

    Think I set mine up around 4-4.5" of shaft showing if I remember correctly. They're great when I'm actually on obstacles. Don't unload on vertical or off camber situations. They just bottom out occasionally when going between trails and try to get up a little speed.

    Not really, might pull the air shocks and put more oil in them. I originally put in the exact amount of oil that Swayaway recommended but the shocks bottom out occasionally when riding between the trails. Seems to be common practice for people to fill the shocks all the way to about 3/4" from...

    Pulled the interior out. Have a small leak between the transmission and the front t-case to fix. Gonna give it a good cleaning and a nut & bolt check so it will be ready for next year.

    Not much to update. Buggy is performing great, I'm still learning where the limits are of what it can and can't do. No changes planned, just wanting to ride more. Hopefully going to Harlan in the spring.

    Scott's Custom Off-road. It comes with the flanges but they are not drilled. You have to drill them to the pattern you need.

    The @MarsFab buggy got it's photo in the new Mittler Brothers catalog.

    Had a great trip to the Ranch. Buggy did absolutely amazing, not a single issue. Crawled everything I put a tire on. @MarsFab did a killer job on everything. Buggy is super comfortable to ride in all day and suspension works great.

    @ridered3 it's parked in the shop and probably won't make another trip until spring. Not much free time right now between work and the little one.

    First ride went great, no issues at all. Rig performed flawlessly and I couldn't be happier with it. It was just a few hours at Uwharrie National Forest, so no real obstacles to really test it out but it was still great to finally get it out and enjoy it. Time to start planning some trips for...

    I don't have any talent for building either, that's why I had @MarsFab work his magic. Only thing I can take credit for is choosing the vinyl color.

    Got the buggy 98% done and decided to take some glamour shots today since the weather was nice. Just want to give another huge thanks to Chris @MarsFab for building an absolutely killer buggy.

    Not much progress lately, our daughter was born on August 11th so all my time has been spent with her. Hopefully in a few more weeks I'll be able to sneak off for a few hours and get a shakedown run at URE. Was able to get started on the vinyl this week. Got both of the large side panels and...

    Huge thanks to @Dirkadirka875 for doing all the wiring on the buggy. Was able to drive it on and off the trailer when I picked it up. Here is a short video of how it sounds, not bad for a weepow buggy. I didn't want it to be loud or raspy. Been working on it as I have time since I got it...
