"Note 91" Bouncer build

Hardline Crawlers - Rock Bouncer Builds, Tech & Off-Road Trail Talk

Help Support Hardline Crawlers:

A whole month has gone by again already? As soon as my "deadline" passed by, I have not been in a hurry to wrap it up. Wheeling in the summer is the worst time to go. Here are some very out dated pics. It has been close to done for awhile. It runs, shifts, and has brakes at the moment. So that is good. FWIW, I have been very busy working on this buggy and getting things sorted out, but instead of 8-10 hour days, it might just be a couple hours. I had a charging issue I was fighting, that I finally have decided the new alternator is the culprit.

A little panel tower thingy.




I bought a new 2 speed Taurus fan and made a nifty aluminum piece that the shroud bolts to. It turned out pretty good and the fan matches that freaking radiator perfectly.



..and some may have already saw, I picked up another set of axles. Just a HP44/60 combo, but those hp 8lug fronts are getting harder to come by and thought they might be good for a light/cheaper build down the road.

 
You better be glad I got business to take care of. I'm in Belleville today. I'de be over at your place motivating you!
By that I mean stopping by and standing around talking just so I could steal any good ideals off of your ride. :****:

That is hilariously close to me.
I'm motivated partner! Right before wiring started I was a little down in the dumps on progress speed, but it is close now man. With a little luck I am hoping for pics this weekend and maybe a walk around. :spin:
 
Check out the empty bay. Just drove it for the first time. All my trials were with it in the air. This is exciting crap! I have more interior panels to install, seats, engine cage, then give it a good cleaning. Legitimate pics to come. It looks great in the day light. :driving:

Man, what a tease!
I know dude. I'd be bummed if you guys held back, but the thing is filthy and it will look nice and complete in a couple days. It was a pleasure seeing the color of it away from those damn shop lights. Looks exactly how I envisioned.
 
Thanks leafspring and Clemson!

Love seeing build threads with a finished picture! Now....time to sell it right?!?!? ;)

It sucks finding an old build thread you have interest in just to see that it was abandoned. Sell it? Is that what people do? No way man.

I also have 2 new Reds ordered, not sure what I'll do with the current 4 bfg's I have.

He is not on here, but big thanks to my friend Ben for getting the buggy wired.
 
Smartass! Stock steering? The knuckles are stock, drilled through. Wanting to double shear them. I knew someone would wonder about rear drums. They still function. I **** you not though, I had bought the disk brake conversion parts long ago and ended up putting them on my girlfriend's old red Cherokee build instead. I never said this thing is perfect as is. Will always be a work in progress.

 
I'm gonna be honest, I fast forwarded to the girlfriend. Need moar of her in the thick chick thread. :****:

Fo rilly do, dig the buggy. :dblthumb:
 
Hell yeah! I'm so glad you posted pics of her with the buggy as asked :****:

Great looking rig man, congrats! And she's even better looking than I thought :dblthumb:
 
This thing looks so bad ass in person. Zach you never disappoint on your builds. I can't wait too see this thing in the woods
