New to Crawling and looking for chassis advice

Looking for some suggestions on a tube chassis two seater bouncer. Just looking to buy a chassis all tabed out and axles and I will finish it out. Thanks for any suggestions

Welcome to hardline and welcome to your path down the road to financial demise. Lol. Just kidding. I love this ****. What kind of drivetrain and budget are you looking at? What are you going to be doing with said chassis? Give us more details.

Here's info from his first post in the Wanted to Buy section.
Looking for a 2 seater tube chassis crawler 115-120 wheel base. Will take a project or as a roller. Does not have to have power. $20k or less.

I'm partial to PJ at M&M Offroad.

that being said, there are tons of great builders out there. just need to start looking at buggies and figure out what tickles your fancy :smoke:

A little advice, pick your components and be sure of it before you buy!!! Changing your mind is costly. I learned that shot the hard way. A few times.

Buy one already built if you can. Your whole life will be better and you will get to wheel before 2018

I couldn't resist

Having just wrapped a build cause I thought I could do it myself and save some money plus it will be the way I want it I have to agree with the guys above. Buy one you like break it and build it better. Buildings fun and I'm glad I got to do it but in hindsight Ive missed three holiday seasons of wheeling and spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Buy a built one and make it better. Still cheaper for you and you get to play today.
However If you are set on building get one as far along as youre willing to buy. Wide open has a long list for rollers but can squeeze a chassis in. Plus they have everything to finish one out and some awesome support if needed. Rocky helped me greatly getting going.
Goat builts are pretty good. Almost bought one but talked myself into more buggy less jeep. Kind of the erector set of buggy builds.
Ive grown fond of the Bent fabrications stuff also. If I did it again I would probably try to have them build me a roller. But I also wanted a go fast (ultra 4) type car. Don't know anything about them but what is on the website.
And there are some awesome builders on here that can start a chassis for you. Search the for sale for a few pages and you can find some great stuff. Fair priced and most of them can build something custom for you if you have special needs.
