Full buggy w/ Toyota drivetrain, 1-ton axles, 39” IROKs

I am posting this for my brother, so please email or call him, here is his contact information:
Tyler at tydivin at gmail dot com or call 706-575-9881. The buggy is located in Fortson, GA (near Columbus, GA)

This is a great little buggy that is a lot of fun. Since we put the 1 ton axles under it it has not broken anything! That is part of what makes this buggy so awesome, you go out and beat on it, have a blast and nothing breaks. The buggy really shines in reliability, stability, and crawling astuff. So many times this buggy has walked over stuff that big expensive jeeps and big fancy V8 buggies struggle on. It crawls like a goat on all but the super steep stuff.

This buggy was built with the K.I.S.S. principal. The wiring is so simple, runs on 4 wires. Everything has been cleaned up and stripped down to only what is needed. All the suspension, axle, and driveshaft angles are perfect and it shows when you drive it, the suspension is very stable, very flexy, and acts perfectly on the rocks. The buggy cranks up perfectly, runs like a top, crawls like a billy goat and is ready for fun. I just pressure washed every nook and cranny and gave it a nice rattle can paint job to freshen it up and get it ready for a new owner.

I will consider almost any trade up or down but would be particularly interested in a Polaris side-by-side (especially a Polaris Ranger Crew), maybe a pontoon boat or camper. I will also consider any stock vehicle that is in good condition that I can re-sell.

Asking price: $7,500 obo

If there was one thing I would change about this buggy it would be the front brakes. I have 1 ton calipers and disks on there which proved to be too big for my 1” Wilwood master cylinder. There is a conversion to ¾ ton brakes that is pretty popular that I think would make it stop better. Sometimes you have to pump the brakes once before they will hold tight on a steep obstacle. I have wheeled it that way for a long time and I don’t mind it but it could be better. The conversion would cost roughly $300-$400. Rear brakes lock up with little effort and stop the front through the drivetrain when in 4wd.

I have a trailer that can be sold with the buggy its dual axle 7000 lb trailer with brakes and ramps. The buggy fits on it perfectly. It is not going to win any beauty contests and needs new wood but it will get you to the trail. I can work a deal for someone on the buggy and trailer. I would prefer to keep the trailer but I wanted to add this in case someone is thinking ‘man I want that buggy but then I have to go buy a trailer’.

It's a good buggy. There are lots of brotherly memories that go with this rig.
 
One more thing, he's selling because he is getting out of rock crawling completely. (Really he has been out for a while now.) He does not want to trade for another Jeep, Samurai, buggy, or any other rock crawler. Please stop offering him those trades. I know I wasn't specific about it before so I am being specific now.
