[QUOTE="wizzo, post: 742429, member: 125"] Andrew (redneckengineered) and I had been talking about him either having a new chassis built and me swapping parts or doing a full tear down and refresh on his current buggy. He was happy with just about everything on his current and the OG Revolution WOD chassis. So the decision was made to go through with the full tear down and refresh. Andrew had a good list of specific points he wanted addressed or updated. This buggy was built in 2011, lots has changed since then and some parts were already updated along the way. But the hope was to bring things up to speed with the current technology. Andrew had already ordered some new seats and stripped the panels off to do a good pressure washing before I tore into it. [ATTACH type="full"]115181[/ATTACH] First thing to do was add some rub rails and fix some damage tubes. [ATTACH type="full"]115182[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]115183[/ATTACH] Transmission cooling was one thing Andrew wanted to update. You can see above the smaller griffin fluid cooler he had been using. While it worked ok, it left something to be desired. I have been running a large CBR fluid cooler on my buggy for a few years. We decided that was the way to go. It's a tight fit but it's in there. [ATTACH type="full"]115185[/ATTACH] Upgraded radiator was also a must.
