I've been in the process of having my new buggy built since January and I'm starting to get some where on it so I thought I'd share a few pics of the progress.
2016 LV3 4.3 engine
Th400 transmission
3.8 Atlas
D44 front axle with a spool and RCV's
9" rear with a spool and 35 spline axles
Elderfab chassis
40" treps
113" wheelbase

the build looks like good quality work. did you do anything in the axles to deal with oiling the pinion bearings since your running them upside down?

No I plan on trying to run extra gear oil to help with that. I don't do any high speed stuff or road riding usually only ride tight technical trails slow stuff ya know. But it could be an issue.

X2. Really nice and unique build.

I'm also very interested to know where you normally wheel.

I wheel at local places close to my home town. A good friend I ride with owns a small private park here in Somerset KY and its literally like 2 miles from my house so we ride it a lot. A good riding friend owns a big park in Manchester KY that we ride a lot but its a invite only type of deal, I ride a local spot called Sandsprings which is located between Somerset KY and Mt.Vernon KY its mainly private land. I usually go to Harlan 2-3 times a year, We rode Pumpjack Offroad a lot in Columbia KY but it recently shutdown. I'd like to venture more south to the popular parks like Windrock, Golden Mtn, AOP and etc. I've been to SRRS events at these parks but never wheeled any of them. Anyway I ride stuff close to home. Thanks for complements guys!

Good deal. We should get together, hell we're practically neighbors. I'm over on Blaze Valley just past the Ridners.

Man I've been by your house a million times and seen rigs sitting in your driveway and garage and always wondered who you was. I live off of Piney Grove, I'll stop by and meet ya.
 
Man I dig this buggy, how did you keep the chassis square to the axles as you were building it? Nice work!

Ah work issues with me and my wife due to covid BS have slowed progress. I have everything bought to finish except for the engine stand alone wiring harness. So hopefully by spring of next year I'll have it going.

Done yet?

Man unfortunately no. With all this Covid BS in the past year, work being slow, and waiting on a wiring harness still! Luckily work has picked back up recently. The company I contacted about building a stand alone harness is supposed to let me know something soon on that. So hopefully by the end of summer I'll have it finished
