Buggy build "Indecision"

Jduck · Jul 20, 2016

Buggy's sounding good! I got to pull my transmission after doing my dyno tuning with lane as well. Guess he unlocks enough woopow to tear other stuff up.

I wondered why he didn't look very surprised when I told him the trans was leaking. Lol.

I've been driving the hell out of this thing. It's ****ing awesome. I raised the ride height 1.5'. I was bottoming out the top 4 link mounts against the chassis on hard bumps. The room for bumps looks much more promising now. Belly height is now at 22". Still stable and rides awesome. Luckily I live on a small farm in East Tennessee where I have plenty of woods around that are pretty damn steep. Lots of playroom for pre shakedown without having to load and haul it somewhere. Love it more every time I drive it.

That's cool man. Wish I had a big area to play around on for the initial testing. I'm confined to small circles behind my shop.

I started on my belly pan and worked on it til midnight Wednesday night. I got 4 of the 8 mounts done and the metal that will be under the uhmw.

And just because it looked cool

How are the c's coming?

pholmann · Sep 5, 2016

Having them machined. Waiting on dad.

Did you do both or one side?

pholmann · Sep 5, 2016

Doing both sides. Also doing inner chromos and Yukon super joints.

tonybolton · Sep 6, 2016

Damn.....you know what I say next......

pholmann · Sep 6, 2016

Umm, that's a really good idea? :flipoff1:

pholmann · Sep 15, 2016

Broke it.

Left side

Right side

Fixed it. New chromoly inners, warrantied outter, Yukon super joints, small brake upgrade, and solid axle ind inner c's. All new bearings, bushings and kingpins. Should be good til the ring and pinion stop loving life.

Damn...all that money an you're using tractor heims on the steering........lordy.......

pholmann · Sep 16, 2016

Huh? Ain't no tractor Heims on my buggy. However they'd probably be stronger lol.

Slick.

What was the brake upgrade?

pholmann · Sep 16, 2016

The brake upgrade is brackets that take it back down to 1/2-3/4 ton brakes. Supposed to shave 40 something pounds off and give a better pedal. I also didn't have to grind anything to fit my 15" wheels. Brad (cushman eagle rider) said it makes a huge difference in stopping power and brake pedal feel. I figured since I was already there why not my brakes sucked anyway
