So, what do you think it costs to build a one of a kind buggy/bouncer?

[QUOTE="Nuts, post: 481223, member: 3099"] There is a difference in a "race bouncer" and an average guy "trail bouncer"? If you want to go run every bounty hill in the south and be competitive $50,000+. If you just want to get in the woods and bounce around with your friends one can be built for less than $20,000. Mine falls into the second category, it has used rebuilt stock rockwells that I will upgrade as they brake,$2000, an old school 350 running on propane that's been rebuilt and will make 350-400hp,$1500, stock rebuilt T400,$300, rebuilt 205,$200, 2.0 coilovers and springs $1600,44" blem boggers on junkyard wheels for $2200, machined my own johny joint rip offs and used scrap metal for the links $250, bout $500 in all the bolts,$800 for tubing and random steel. That's most of the big stuff and only adds up to $9350, then even if you double that for all the random **** its still less than $20,000. I did all the fabrication, had a buddy rebuild the motor and another friend is doing the paint. It probably won't win anything ever, and I'll have to know when to let off a little, but its more than enough to have fun in without getting a second mortgage. Hell maybe its not considered a bouncer, but its sure ain't a crawler or a bogger :dunno: [/QUOTE]
