I think it has to do with incorrect oil volume in his shocks

I'm going to pull the shocks tomorrow and check. I just gassed em up from factory setting. With my luck they ain't got bout 10cc.

I just wanted to verify that it is not wheel hopping its just trying to roll the chunk under.

First time out you learn a lot of things with a new ride....
1.) the throttle body seems to have a catch in it so it makes it very hard to easily apply the skinny pedal
2.) converter is wayyyyyy to tight.
3.)i need to build a solid spacer under the carrier bearing.
4.) 5.29's hate stickies
5.) got some adjusting to do on the shifter
6.) i suck at wiring... major ha
7.) got some shock/bump stop adjustments to make.
8.) i've got to build a front driveshaft from 1.5" diameter dom, the one in it is way to big.

Over all I felt like it was a decent first outing. We'll get it back together in a couple weeks and have it ready to go again.

any updates ?

Well, I've made some changes. I sold the 37" Red Label Krawlers and the toyota axles. I've replaced them with 43" SX Stickies on double beadlocks and a set of one tons.

The buggy should be finished in the next couple of weeks. Patrick's really been working hard to get the tons under it and make a few changes I requested.

So here's the pictures:
