[QUOTE="drivermod, post: 286141, member: 4658"] Been hanging around the site for awhile and figured I should post up a build thread of the buggy I've been working on for the last year. It all started summer of 2011 when I had an opportunity to trade by mildly built TJ for a 90% finished built one-ton CJ. The TJ [IMG]http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo140/drivermod/033-2.jpg[/IMG] The CJ [IMG]http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/oo140/drivermod/84%20CJ/newjeep1.jpg[/IMG] The CJ already had Dana 60/70 running gear along with a warmed over 406 sbc/700R4/Atlas 4.3 drivetrain. I've come to be great friends with Todd Puckett, owner of Shotgun Fab, over the last few years and after trying to follow his buggy around in my TJ, I decided I needed something a bit more hardcore. I planned to link the CJ and stretch the wheelbase but after some thoughtful consideration I convinced myself to sell off most of the CJ and build a tube buggy. Budget is of the utmost concern with 6 young children at home and a single income but Todd graciously offered to let me use his shop and equipment as well as his expertise in the construction. I have never attempted a build of this magnitude so it was a little overwhelming but having helped him on his own projects over the last couple of years, I knew between the two of us it would get done.
