2 and 6/4 seat buggy.

[rockmafia]

Customer wanted two smaller seats in the back for his kids, so I'm building him a chassis thats a little bigger. Still have a ways to go.

I squeeze myself into the back with a fullsize seat, and just barely fit. His kids ought to have plenty o room.

Little extra rock clearance.

nice, i'm sure he'll be pleased with it.

Looking good. I know ho that belongs to.

 

[spraypaintman]

That's cool looking. If I had the dinero I would get one of those family buggies. Is there going to be some cargo space too?

 

[farmboy]

Looking good Jim. How much longer is it than your standard chassis?

 

[pheery]

you do trade ins?

I'll trade you the chassis for you're finished buggy.....my kids can ride with you

Looks like 20" longer at the top than Patricks with a greater slope to the back end, but I don't beleive we had that much more wheelbase in it. The goal was to keep the tightest package possible and sit it almost as low as Patrick's on a set of Rockwells with rear steer. Looks like Jim pulled it off pretty well.

Here's a good example of the differences to be able to fit the extra seats:

 

[spraypaintman]

So what size tires are you going to run & what's your wheelbase going to be?

 

[Aggressive1]

Planning to run 44's. We talked about 114 inches, but I'll have to let Jim answer what the final outcome is.

 

[Mr_DIY]

great looking work.

It's whatever you want it to be

8-10 in. I have no standard, they are all a little different.

 

[Aggressive1]

Or wherever I can find to stuff the rocks when I'm done....

 

[rockmafia]

Still have to add the subframe, and some stuff in the back once I get the smaller rear seats.

 

[Aggressive1]

Baddazz. Thanks for the update.

Looks really nice. I like the front winch area with the curved tube. Looks like a mouth.

shouldn't you be out recycling?

 

[spraypaintman]

LOL...he said bung hole.

 

[rockmafia]

Looks like a mouth.

I knew this comment would turn out bad.....

 

[Aggressive1]

Guess I better keep that aluminum fairlead....to cover up the bung.

Any ideas come to mind yet on the the rear shock mounts?

 

[greg slade]

The new chassis looks well thought out and sweet!! I especially like the extra room up front for the rocks.

No, no, I'm going out there and cutting it off now.

 

[Aggressive1]

Thanx....was hoping to have a little more time before the chassis was named
