Stephen Broady's "An Actual Trail Rig" build

[smbroady82]

Buggy is looking good for sure. One question though, what is up with the short springs on top? I am sure the shock guru has something up his sleeve....

thank you

all shock and shock accessories were left up to east coast baby shock Jesus

if we need to make any adjustments or fine tune them down the road we can

It's standard set up. Rear has 14/16 b/c its a 14" shock. Front has 12/14 b/c its a 12" shock. Rear is soo light it's using 100/100 springs. Both ends have 1.5" of pre-load currently.

I’m really digging these clips for easy harness removal & cleaning.

To take my lap belts currently i have to take the seats out. I could probably get away with swapping the shoulders out but the lap belts theres no way.

I'm ready to watch this guy get blistered and scratch it up.

Girly winch rope installed

Close up of the rear / cooler rack area

2 pins and you can have the cooler rack out in about 5 seconds to access the toolbox if needed

Anddddd you can actually put gas in this hog without removing any of it

That’s awesome on the storage rack and even better on the gas filling process.

It is definitely a good bit larger than the WS 10s I've ran in the past.

It is a PowerBass XL 1250. The sound quality is pretty legit. It has a few 3.5" subs built in so it actually has a touch of bass where the WS has next to none.

Little bit cheaper than the WS as well.

Figured I would give it a shot.

I used to run some powerbass subs back in the day. Might have blown out a window seal once or twice with them.

Took the buggy down to see James at Schofield Performance last week to get dialed in.
She’s much much happier now with an actual tune!

All the horsepressures!

 

[smbroady82]

Took the buggy out all last weekend. I think most of the kinks are worked out of it now. Really starting to enjoy it for sure.

Took a little while to get it back to its rightful color, but she's tucked away nice and clean again.

@smbroady82 glad you are getting some seat time in this ride with real motor noises after years of seat time with fake motor noises :rolf:

What do you think about the backup camera and monitor?

[Bjeep]

I hate I did not get to hand you a beer at AOP over the weekend. I was looking forward to drooling over this masterpiece you have.:JRich:

 

[smbroady82]

Took this thing for a little Sunday stroll , really enjoying it so far.

 

[redneckengineered]
