Buggy looks great and I can't believe that was a seven week turn around!

Interested to see how the CTM's hold up in comparison to RCV's.

They arent CTM's, they are Yukon Super Joints. I know it was only the first trip out, but I crammer them in some under cuts a couple of times and they came to a dead stop and did NOT break. Will keep you posted, Thanks!

Glad to see a lack of hate on this rig over on Pirate!

Where are pics and videos of riding it around this weekend?

I hope that someone has pics/videos because she got flat beat down. A bent link, lots of scratches, a "W" missing from a wheel, the skid plate is now convex .. But it went to being a pile of tube to a buggy and already conquered a bounty hill in 7 weeks! Not to bad for the first time out! Thanks

Glad to hear it's already getting wheeled like it was designed for! :dblthumb:

Be hard to beat on something that pretty though.

Another nice looking and extremely functional SMITH buggy.

Very gnarly looking climb! not bad for a shakedown run.

That vid sucks for showing the size of the ledge laughing1
I pulled up on it that night (look on the right at the dryer sized rock he knocks down) and bent links and my engine skid getting over that rock to get up on the ledge. Its fairly tall.
this thing did a badass job
