So, yeah. I guess it has been 2 months. A couple summer vacations, hot weather and garage crap have really killed my productivity, but I got back at it hard last weekend. I have been slowly getting all the small stuff buttoned up and getting ready to tear it all back down for final welding...

Also, last weekend the buggy gained a neighbor that will be the next project. As if i need more of those...

I'm fairly terrible at keeping threads updated so here's some progress. I've been slowly plugging along on all the little **** that doesn't look like anything. Sorting out brake lines, fuel lines, exhaust and driveshafts. I've also been buttoning up a few things on the buggy's new home so...

Just been ordering and installing parts. I did some junkyard digging while I was picking up some stock tranny lines and fuel lines for modification and found an intake hat that will be a little better for modification. It's about 3/4 of an inch shorter than the factory one and points forward...

No. :fawkdancesmiley: Spent a week in Jamaica. Last week Kevin from Fullstack came over and we swapped out my lower eyelets on the front shocks to get me the clearance on the lower control arm mounts I needed. I've been working on little **** and ordering parts. While searching for other...

Almost forgot these pics.

I've just been trucking along getting all the suspension figured out. The rear was easy but trying to get everything to fit in the front has been a bit of a challenge. I wanted to keep the top of the shock low so that I could retain good visibility over the hood and minimize the angle of lean...

Got the engine and trans mounts set up and took the rig up to ride height so that I can set the link lengths and shock mounts up.

Lengths and locations have a lot to do with making it all fit where it can, no two rigs will be the same. The thing to do is to get the lowers up in the chassis where they fit and then tack in some uppers where you think you have room for them. Then run the numbers and see if they are in an...

I've now reached the point where I do a bunch of work and don't have a whole lot to show for it so updates will probably slow some. Last week I started on the rear suspension. I set up the links the way Goat built wanted them first and really didn't like the length of the uppers, I also ran...

I've been slowly working on getting the suspension where I want it an figuring out clearances and link mounts. I've set it up so that with a 20" belly on a 42 inch tire I'll have 6 inches of up travel. I bought a ruffstuff simple truss for the rear and it was really tall, about 1.5" above...

Got the chassis welded out this weekend. Having a crane is great for rolling the chassis around while welding.:redneck: When I got done I dropped the powertrain back in so I could start figuring mounts out. Also threw the axles up on the table so I could get an idea of how it was all going to...

Got the subframe welded on and dropped the powertrain in tonight to make sure everything was gong to clear. It all looks good. Weld-a-thon this weekend.

Got the rest of the cage structure tacked up tonight. Just have the sub frame to tackle tomorrow and then its on to final weld out. Visibility looks like it is going to be really good. Just a little lean to the passenger side and I can see the outside of the frame rail through the foot well...

Watching the Pirate classifieds like a hawk.

Been slowly plugging along getting the rest of the front end bars in place and putting in more of the cross bracing. I received two driver side bars for one of the front shock mounts so that is on hold for the moment. Getting extra tacks put on all the joints so that I can pull the jig and...

Got a bunch more pieces tacked in after work today. Really starting to look like something. I'm planning on chopping up a spare samurai tub that I have for skins so I figured I see how the windshield off my old zuk/buggy fit. Actually lines up pretty good. I should be able to make it work...

I received the rest of my jigs today, along with a bunch of link parts from ruffstuff. Back to work. :awesomework: Got the jig all assembled and started laying in some of the main cage tubing.

Yeah, Jimmy texted them to me yesterday. Thanks :awesomework:
