[QUOTE="bbtank45, post: 687577, member: 4340"] I think it mostly depends on what your goals are. I personally enjoyed building my buggy/truggy thing tremendously, but i would not recommend that route for your first rig. FWIW, Id start with something toyota based and fully or partially assembled ....less expensive, extremely easy to work on and parts are plentiful. Make your initial investment as minimal as possible. Learn how to anticipate how a buggy works and how it reacts to certain types of situations and the terrain you prefer to wheel. All these factors will determine your setup. Building a buggy not only takes a good deal of $$$ in parts, but it takes a good deal of $$$ in tools.....and a ton of research! You will not just jump in a rig and be TC. Seat time is key...and im a firm believer in crawling before you bounce.If you can wheel with a beat'n broken 22r, you can wheel with a stroked small block. Either way you decide, i'm always game for more people getting out on the trail :drinkers: [/QUOTE]
