Looking good Tim. Congrats on the bun in the oven :dblthumb:

 

[bluzuk80]

Thanks Josh

 

[Ghost]

Going to be a nice ride for sure.

Worked on the rear a little yesterday. Run some .250 between the rails for support and to hold the fuel cell/tool box. Went ahead and put in a receiver for a recovery point or to hold a basket if I need to haul some camping gear.

I like that idea........a LOT!!

 

[bluzuk80]

Ive done a little work on her. Been very busy at shop but hired another hand so things are slowing down a bit for me. The motor is back from builder and sitting in chassis so I can mock everything else up. The Mast Motorsports pan fits awesome, real tight and close to skid/tubing. The front of motor will look clean and simple with the WOD AN thermostat housing, real easy to plumb to chassis. Still looking into headers, cant decide.

Looking bad ass!!!

WOD has a header that fits the chassis perfectly.

 

[bluzuk80]

I really like the fact that with this pan and the way Woodlee built the engine skid you wont have to remove the skid to change oil and filter. Nice to not have to run a remote filter either....

Thank you sir! I know they sell the Sanderson Headers. Guess I just need to call him and get em on the way.

Lookin awesome Tim! Can't wait to see it :****:

 

[bluzuk80]

Tied chassis together and incorporated driveshaft hoop. Added a double shear tab to mount corner of seats. Thought it worked out pretty good. Driveshaft cant kill me now and seats sure as hell aint going anywhere.

Looks good Tim!

Buggy is looking great! When will you have it finished up?

Buggy is looking great! When will you have it finished up?
Just depends on a few things. We got another baby on the way and looking at new houses so that will slow me down in more ways than one. Im at the point now where ALOT of money could easily be spent on bling parts, that could definetly change the finish date :****: Sponsors???

 

[bluzuk80]

Well baby is here and new house is bought and moved in! Been awhile since I updated but I'm still plugging away slowly. A lot of parts have came in, Mostly from Wide Open Design. Atlas is mounted, steering done. You can also see the Lazar Star headlights mounted.

 

[bluzuk80]

I bought the WOD alternator/power steering pump relocation kit along with the PSC CBR pump. Really fits good and looks amazing.

 

[bluzuk80]

Had a problem getting different headers to fit with the engine being slightly off center due to the HP front axle so I bought a pair of bare Sandersons and had one tube modified. Had a buddy tig some V-bands on them and then coated. Turned out awesome and wont have to lift engine to remove headers. Went ahead and welded in some tabs to mount rocklights I got from pirate.

 

[bluzuk80]

More parts, Carrier Bearing, Winters shifter from WOD. Spools from ECGS and ECM mount from Binksfab

 

[wizzo]

after taking a better look at the picture and the new pics posted, i believe the carrier bearing you are running will be a solid piece for you, imo.

 

[smurfy90]

Get this thing done! You missing out on freezing your nuts off. :flipoff1:

 

[bluzuk80]

will they let you exchange that carrier bearing for the "ultra" design? if so, do it
[/quote
I actually asked Adam about the Ultra Carrier and he said it was for mainly high speed/high hp rigs. He said this carrier should handle anything Ill be doing. I sure do like the way the Ultra looks though.

I know Im missing out then I think about that cold ass day at HPO and I don't miss it so much

 

[bluzuk80]

more junk Orbital came from 1tonrubicon on here. TG battery box. Column and U joint from Woodlee

 

[bluzuk80]

Rolled outside to knock dust off

 

[nealcj8]

Whats the advantage of the alternator relocation bracket??? Buggy looking great!!

 

[bluzuk80]

Thanks Neal. Besides moving the alternator it also moves the Pump to the head. Its very tight at full bump. I might have been able to use some stock fbody accessories but this just looked badass and simplified things a lot.

The Buggy is looking awesome & this is a great build thread! There is just something about the Wide Open Chassis's that catchs your Eye!!!
