biggy's new ride

[bigassedredjeep]

yeah i should be there, not sure where we're staying yet though?

 

[farmboy]

Not gonna get nothin done like that.
Looking good Brandon.

Well i just put in my 2 week notice last monday so i could work on the buggy more. Hopefully that should give me enough time.

 

[bigassedredjeep]

now thats commitment, but kinda hard to buy the bling without a job?

i'll be there, the buggy won't be... (for clarification)

 

[farmboy]

Well, saved up a decent bit the past 6 months and now its time to spend it. Also have a few small jobs to earn some cash.
What do you mean you buggy wont be their? Finish the floor, wire it up and drive it. Forget paint and and all that mess.

 

[bigassedredjeep]

Well, the small accomplishments that have been made over the last few weeks are currently being put on hold...

THANKS for the ride Greg, now i gotta make room

 

[BIGWOODY]

you got home...looked it over and thought..."damn I coulda had a V8???" or better yet..."it's got to have a V8"

 

[pheery]

riding in greg's buggy is a mistake.

 

[bigassedredjeep]

true on both accounts...

I've been having second thoughts on the V6, and they were confirmed by a little bit of rev limiter on top of the mountain.

 

[Aggressive1]

Damn...there goes my 1 up on you....I was hoping that LT1 would make up for lack of skill...there goes that plan..

 

[rockmafia]

Done yet?

Just ignore em Brandon.....I don't see their sheet done yet.

You decide to stick with the 4.3 for now?

 

[bigassedredjeep]

haven't touched it since the 4.3 came out...
(edit: sold it this past weekend)
think i've settled on a motor (atleast to get me on the trails), so should pick back up this week.

[ol'Jeeps]

some updates..
got the steering column/MC/brake pedal mounted, a mock-up dash for now:

NCDOT is lookin for that floorboard...!

Nice rig!

 

[Aggressive1]

How's the progress?

 

[bigassedredjeep]

sloooow

i need an adapter for a TH350 to D300, originally i had planned to run the 4.3/4l60e/D300... now that's out the window (and have sold my TH350/D300 adapter already ) i've got an adpater for the 4l60e/D300 that's not doing me any good...

anybody want a 4l60e trans with a D300 adpater on the cheap???

other than that, this weekend i re-did the front shock mounts, cleaned the chassis of the old motor/tranny mounts.

 

[Aggressive1]

Farmboy had one when I was looking before but since I ordered the stack I didn't need it. Maybe he still has it.

 

[farmboy]

Nope, actualy sold it a while back. I was slinging around some adapters there for a while.

 

[bigassedredjeep]

bump, so it doesn't get deleted...

as for updates: it's coming along, but no pics I left my camera in Shane's yj after the open ride at DPG a few weeks ago... and it somehow got wet?

 

[bigassedredjeep]

update... still no camera, that should change this weekend.

working on skins/sheetmetal and the skid-plate/X-case mount, should be stripped down by the end of next week, and then it's off to paint (yeah, i'm skimping on the powercoat)

Motor plans have changed again propane's OUT!!

 

[farmboy]

A race to the finish huh? Tearing mine down this weekend...
