    The Barn 4x4's first buggy

    Got some time today to work on the chassis. I spent a good hour or two undoing stuff that I probably shouldn't have welded in the first place. Oh well thats how I roll. I love the way the two upper tubes worked out, I can't touch my head to anything when I am strapped it. [attachment deleted...

    The Barn 4x4's first buggy

    I agree! With the fender in place and the axles where they need to be I could finally finish the chassis design. Here are some pics from the monitor down stairs. Everything in gray or black is in, the colored portions are on the cut list for tomorrow. I think I am going to be really happy...

    The Barn 4x4's first buggy

    I have given up my search for a factory 2 piece drive shaft for my front drive line, so I am going to make my own. I went to tractor supply today once I realized that the OD of the Toyota flange I got from trail gear was only a few thousandths off of 1.5". I figured they would have a bearing and...

    The Barn 4x4's first buggy

    So I know I have changed my mind a thousand times already, but I was starring at the fenders on my now defunked 85 pickup and I really like the way they look. So a buddy of mine picked up a set he found for cheap today, and I think we have a winner. I didn't build this chassis with the intent...

    I already have 30 spline longs in the front, and I am about to order the same for the rear. I have beat on the front ones hard and have had no failures.

    The Barn 4x4's first buggy

    That shaft is a front shaft from a 82-85ish truck. It is the biggest pattern that came in those trucks. I bought if from my buddy at work, I'll ask him tomorrow what year/model it came out of. They are real short though, I retubed that one with the tube from a late 90's geo tracker. (Same...

    The Barn 4x4's first buggy

    I called wilwood today and they helped me pick a clutch/brake setup that should do what I need it to. I am going with 3 floor mount pedals, 3/4" master for the clutch, and a set of pedals with 7/8" masters for the brakes. I am not going to run cut brake handles, mainly because this is a trail...

    The Barn 4x4's first buggy

    Put in a good day today. I cut all the 3/4" heim spacers for the upper links. Also I cut out some new lower link mounts for the chassis that will weld to a tube, I think it looks cleaner that what I had. Around 5 or so I got tired of thinking so I went on and pulled the t-case so I could mod it...

    The Barn 4x4's first buggy

    Yes sir.... Got the motor in, well the front motor mounts are mocked up, and the rear mounts are in the computer waiting to be cut out.

    The Barn 4x4's first buggy

    Anybody know anything about roll center height? Mine is only 20" in the rear. Is that enough or is the chassis going to body roll like crazy?
