Ok, this is a buggy I started building a couple of years ago. The plan was to finish it in a couple of months and be wheeling with my friends. We'll, life had other plans for me and after over two years and a couple of different jobs it's starting to come together.
The name leftover comes from the use of leftover tube and material from other projects. This buggy was supposed to bridge the gap between my last buggy and my dream buggy.
Now, I'm not planning on doing any hard core wheeling with this thing. Just haul tools and coolers around and hang out with my friends while I finish a more serious build.

This buggy is all samurai drivetrain in a custom chassis. The main fame rails are 2x2 box tube. The rest of the chassis is 1"-1 3/4" tubing DOM and HREW. It is three link in the front with lanyard and four link in the rear. It is on some unknown coil rate springs in the front and factory suzuki sidekick springs in the rear.
The shocks are cheap NAPA ford ranger shocks in the front and super duty rear shocks in the rear.

I like it man, I'd like to build something just to mess around in around the house like this. Simple but still have fun on some power lines around me

Thanks, I have a lot of fun building it. Money has been tight for me lately and this build was a way for me complete a buggy on a very small budget.
 
If you're not Chris Cole you've cloned his buggy and kid! :woot: Took me a minute to realize what I was looking at.... Hurry up and let's get back in the woods, been way to long!
