The Punisher Chassis Begins!

[mjp1080]

Thanks again, that's exactly what I'm looking for! Ill be making a few phone calls about those tommarow.

where you mounting your radiator?

 

[olywa]

On ur drive lines, how long is the slip tube ?? How much travel is in them ?? Is that 2" box to 1 1/2" box ??

Gett'in ready to build me some and like the way ur's looks :redneck:

The build is looking awesome.

 

[mjp1080]

So I finally got back to work on the buggy, I've gotten the radiator mounted and some of the coolant lines run. I also finally got my header and exhaust situation worked out. I've spent the last couple days just trying to make everything fit, but its starting to come together.:D

 

[mjp1080]

I finally finished all the major fabrication so I decided to weigh the buggy to see where it was at. As it sits right now it weighs 3566 with a front to rear weight percentage of 54% front and 46% rear. By the time it has fuel and two passengers in it, the split will be very close to 50/50. Now I'm going to take it apart, finish weld everything, add gussets and paint it.:cheer:

 

[blackcj71]

Dude your belt might squeel alittle bit being that loose! haha Looks ****ing awsome cant wait till its done!:awesomework::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

 

[NotSoPC]

Cant wait to see this thing goin:awesomework: I just ;ove the way it turned out so far:beer:

 

[mjp1080]

I havent posted in a while, but I've been really busy tearing this thing back apart and painting it. The white is just the primer, the whole rig is going to be red and black. I'm hoping to start reassembly some time early next week. :D

 

[mjp1080]

Couple more.:D

 

[NotSoPC]

Cool. That red looks really orange:eeek:

 

[traildemon]

BLING BLING. that sumbitch is cool

 

[mjp1080]

Well, I'm finally making some progress. I still have lots of parts to buy, so I wont be out wheeling anytime real soon but, at least its starting to look like something.:FIREdevil:

 

[zukkev]

Thing is just badass!!!:cool: Really likin' the overall look...:awesomework:
One thing tho, The rear isn't gonna articulate fer ****!:redneck:

 

[Corey Y]

Here is an old picture from the Mudslingers tufftruck/mudbog in Ethel a couple years ago.....

 

[mjp1080]

[Boonie Buster]

I still have to order a programmable computer for the fuel injection, two more coilovers and the sheet metal for the skins. Unfortunately I've been so busy working lately I have not been able to touch my own project. Hopefully, I will at least have it running and driving in the next few weeks.:D

you get this thing runnin yet? have you decided what stand alone computer you are runnin? you should get ahold of barry if you need any assistance, he has a pretty bad FI ford that he built everything for. he might be able to give you a hand. :awesomework::awesomework:

 

[mjp1080]

Its not actually running, but I've turned the motor over a few times. I went with dynamic efi's computer and am currently trying to flash the correct program into the ecm. I also got my coilovers for the rear and got my steering system completed. Its so close to being done I can taste it, I'm hoping for a test drive this weekend or some time next week. Ill post some pics tommarow. :D

 

[blackcj71]

Yeaaa buddaay!! Mines up and running so let me know when your gonna go out!:beer:

 

[mjp1080]

I finally got it running but not with efi, I put the carb back on it temporarily because there were too many wiring issues to deal with while working out the bugs with the chassis. I will get the efi going over the winter. It freaking screams now that it weight 2000 lbs less than the old rig. I do however have heat issues. I think the heat can be solved with a bigger radiator and a fan shroud. All in all I'm thrilled with how its turned out, now I just need to put springs on the shocks and a new radiator and wheel it!!!:D

 

[Money Mark]

Where are you going to take it first?

 

[super samurai]

when i put the rad. in the back of my buggy it gets turned around from when it was in the front and had to cross the coolant lines running to the back as they were in the front, i tried to reverse them and no worky, it was sucking from the top outlet and going in at the bottom, and then i would have to pull the t-stat to get the air pocket out of the block. not sure if this is how you did it but just my experience with radiators in the back. both my rigs i have the rad. in the back.

 

[SUPAFLY]

Looks like your arms will get tired with the steering wheel so high. :D Can't wait to see a trip report.:awesomework:

 

[mjp1080]

Where are you going to take it first?

Were going camping over at Tahuya for labor day so I think I'll take the buggy along. Probably a good place to just feel it out.

 

[blackcj71]

Fuk ya dude! IM ready for a break in run whenever you wanna! Hit me up and we will go out sometime:cool:

 

[Myke J]

Saw you out at Tahuya yesterday. I was in the silver TJ on 40's, waved at yah a few times. I saw you rumble all over the place but never saw you actually hit anything. How did it work?
