[QUOTE="Naughty_Finger, post: 355545, member: 8026"] I am beginning my build thread for my new buggy I named "Naughty Finger". Long story behind the name. At any rate, I built a 100? dodge truck and was sick of trying to wedge that fat beast around the trails. I was also pretty sick of the body damage. The next logical step is a buggy. I have a bender, welder, plasma cutter etc.. So there are only a few tools I will need. I still need a tube rotation gauge and a tube roller. The buggy will be custom. I am diving in with both feet so to speak. For parts I have and will use the following. Dana 70 rear with Detroit locker and 513 gears Dana 60 front with 35 outers, pucks and Detroit locker with 513 gears 727 tranny with all Kevlar clutches and a low stall speed torque converter Engine is a very built mopar 400 that's fuel injected and puts out over 425 horse and over 500 foot lbs of torque. Exact numbers are unknown. It was dayno'd before head work but even then it was in the 425 / 500 range Steering is PSC full hydro Transfer case I have is a mated 203 but I would like to find a 205 to make a doubler. Motor is sensitive and jumpy in rocks and more gearing from a doubler will make it less likely to launch itself. All msd ignition 39.5 tsl on h1 wheels with pressed in centers Tom woods drive shafts 15 gallon fuel cell with internal pump and return line Other crap.... Needless to say I have most of what I need except shocks and links. Here is a picture of my dodge before I tore it down to a pile of parts.it was like driving an elephant in a closet.
