It's on like a pot-a neck bone.... :smokin:
Go ahead and tell Pecos Bill not to wear purple.... :flipoff2: He dares you....


I tried not to watch Jonathan Pearce have all the fun this weekend, straight showing up all the bigger and badder rigs with his little Dirt Dobber. Ehh, I don't care what tools and equipment I don't have, I'm just gonna have to give him some competition. I've probably designed this thing 35 times in my head.
Gonna fire up the CAD software, right after I fire up this thread.

List of knowns for the D REED DESIGNS, "Pecos Bill" rock buggy build:

- Toyota rear engine 22r
- Toyota 2wd / 4 speed transmission
- Transfer case.... NOT....
- 2 Twisted Stitch racing seats
- 4 King shocks, remote reservoir
- Toyota front and rear steer
- Special springs o_O
- JL marine amplifier and MB-Quart marine speakers
- Integrated, full on, see in the dark light set up
- Integrated beverage cooler
- Lacking pounds and Stacking wicked-ness
- It will work


Not going to list the unknowns, because the list is far too great for any of us to read in one sit down. The suspension idea is something I haven't even seen built before. I really think it will work and now that I'm committed to it, I have to figure it out. I am really glad I met, and worked with Dave from Olivers Drive Shaft this weekend. :D Sure he's going to have to help me figure out some craziness.



Inspiration - Dirt Dobber / Jonathan Pearce = Blame on him

Time frame - Hope were not all forced into Islam by then

Attitude - Pecos Bill.... Ropin tornado's with rattlesnakes and stuff

Simple - Yes / No

It was in my way, and taking up too much of my thinking time. Every time I looked at it, I was wanting to race it and spend money on it. Got tired of it making me sick, so I cut it up and didn't look back.

I would bet that no one can guess what is going on here. This is totally original. Mark my word, you are watching me create the future of capable budget trail buggies. This is a rough draft drawing and this will surely change, a lot.

Needs more triangulation!:flipoff2:
 
Anybody got any ideas on a neat radiator/fan combo. I figured I would check for something cool, before I just throw a Toyota radiator in it. Going average on this.
