"Half an inch off" (budget) rockwell build

pholmann · Jan 13, 2017

He is still trying to justify to himself having that box of marbles he calls a straight shift in his buggy.

Eddyj · Jan 13, 2017

When your half a quart low on trans fluid and stuck. You just give big poppy a call and I'll come pull you out.

pholmann · Jan 13, 2017

Will we have to stop every few feet to let yours cool off because you won't take the time to properly bleed it after you roll it over in your yard? :stir:

Eddyj · Jan 13, 2017

To be honest, I'm pretty sure the motor is junk.

Should have went 5.4 triton :dblthumb:

This unit has turned out to be a very nice buggy. :driving:

Eddyj · Jan 14, 2017

Thanks for all the compliments.
This buggy has turned out the way it has because of Patricks...,
Rocfun and Pholmann they both hooked me up with their own expertise.
As you can see Rocfun is a masterbender
Phole hooked me up with a good motor at reasonable cost and provided any tech help I needed.
Also lowbudgetjunk helped me out big time (he may have also given my engine a unidentifiable STD)
Also 5bros and rednecklights for their input and criticism.

Thanks fellas. :****:

Happy to help. I do have to apologize. I did witness and maybe instigate the potential std give the to your engine by Kel. I did nothing to stop it. ;D

Rape Accessory...

Just saying.

You've obviously never had the pleasure of meeting rednecklights.

What's your guess,smarty pants?

You weighed yours yet?

**** I thought we were guessing how far it could drive before flipping over or overheating laughing1

Everyone is a comedian...
Sometimes fellas I'd like to have a serious conversation on my build thread without all your jackassery and sarcasm. :dblthumb:
Good day sir.

Sent from the grand wizard of jackassery and sarcasm.

muddinmetal · Mar 13, 2017

Are we weighing with you in it? Will tools? Spares? Fuel? Etc.

Eddyj · Mar 13, 2017

I have a pic of scales from today with me in it (225) ,10gal of fuel, and probably a quart low on oil.
My lazy ass has no spares on the buggy to speak of, except some extra zip ties and probably 3 pounds of tools.
