approx 105 inch wheelbase,toy axles,30 longfields,full hydro,22r on propane,dual cases,17 inch big horn air shocks,4 bar both ends,39.5-18-15 boggers on 10x15 beadlocks. 1.5 .120 full tube 2 seater .On board air.BEARD SHAFTS.Im shooting for a 2000-2200lb buggy.
 
Thats a heavy tire for a light weight buggy
 
well the only thing i got done tonight was pulled the motor, trans,case out of my donor truck,will roll axles under tomorrow and let the tube work begin,I have to order the dual case adapter,and other parts.

looks good jim, damn you build quick. Makes me want to build one to put my pile's dtrain into instead of redoing the cage. Think you'll be happier with the lightweight buggy vs the heavy weight buggy? Eager to see it together running and check out how much it weighs.
 
well you mentioned the gulches at the end of Feb..LOL dont think it can be done that fast.
not sure about the Big rockwell VS. the small toy buggy.
went from 120" to about 108"wheelbase,v-8 to 22r...
i think this one will be as much fun or more fun than the bigger one.
the vertical climbs that im used to will put me on my roof with this buggy....well at least i dont have to worry about the 2000lb rocks,tire combo landing on me.....LOL

Some lessons are harder than others to learn.
